Aphid Control using Ladybird Larvae

From: Plant Protection : Biological Controls

Aphid Control using Ladybird Larvae is the answer to your outdoor aphid problems; the larvae can eat 100-150 aphids per day and can be used on a wide variety of outdoor plants where arguably the gardener's biggest enemy is present.

Aphid Control using Ladybird Larvae is supplied in jute bag which is simply hung on a soft fruit plant, tree or shrub (use 2-3 bags for larger trees) and the hungry larvae (50 in total) quickly emerge in search of a snack or 100!

Both adult ladybirds and larvae can be applied from early May (only apply larvae in temperatures of 10ºC+ indoors or outdoors) but neither should be introduced after September. Repeat treatments of Aphid Control using Ladybird Larvae as required.
