Step 3: Repeat Applications

To keep this predatory insect in your crop, you will want to introduce additional bottles on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. 

What to Expect Upon Arrival:

  • Bottles will be packed in a protective eco box with ice packs and buffer packs to ensure safe transport.
  • Each bottle contains larval predatory insects in a carrier material, along with food for their survival.
