Eggs, larvae and adult ladybirds

This ladybug kit allows you to choose to receive them in 3 ways.

A: Ladybird eggs

Sent by 100, they are delivered in strips that must be hung in their plants. Of course, they’ll have to wait a few days for them to hatch before the action begins.

The eggs have two advantages:

Your plants will benefit from a longer period of protection as the insect will be effective at all stages of development, first as a larva and then as an adult.
The larvae of the eggs are more resistant because they will be born directly in their natural environment.

B: Ladybird larvae

Sent by 80, the action of the larvae is immediate as soon as they establish themselves in the plantations. Its application is more delicate, should be done with a brush for example and deposited directly on the plant to be protected.

C: The adult ladybird

Sent by 20, their action is immediate as soon as they get started in the fields. As for the larvae, their application will be delicate.

Treatment period

Eggs: 50 to 100 per tree

Larvae: 20 to 40 larvae per tree or 1 to 2 larvae per aphid colony

Adults: 10 to 20 ladybugs per tree or 1 to 2 adults per aphid colony.

Do not use any chemical or phytosanitary product with the ladybugs (eggs, larvae and adults) before, during and after placing them in your crops.
