Product information
Mealybugs are related to aphids and feed by sucking plant sap, causing direct feeding damage and as a result of the production of honeydew, sooty moulds can discolour plant foliage. Several species are found, all have the appearance of being covered in a white waxy layer.
How it Works
Small (4-5 mm) Australian ladybird is the perfect choice to combat mealybugs. The larvae look like a large segmented mealybug and may be seen walking over plants. Adults lay eggs into mealybug egg masses; larvae develop and are predatory on all stages of the mealybug.
The larvae feed on all species but adults need egg producing species for egg laying. Use Fightameal at first sign of infection.
How to use
2-3 ladybirds per 1m2 on infested plants, repeat at 2-week intervals until predators are established.
