Ladybird Larvae - Great for Tackling Aphid Infestations
This native UK species of ladybird feeds on aphids, making them a valuable ally in your pest control program. Aphids can infest a wide range of crops, causing damage through multiple mechanisms. When feeding on plant sap, aphids extract vital nutrients, leading to plant weakening. Secondly, the excretion of honeydew by aphids can result in the growth of sooty mould, further compromising plant health. Additionally, certain aphid species transmit plant viruses, which can cause distortions and disfigurement in plant growth.
Why Choose Live Predators?
Live predators are the ultimate weapon in the fight against grow room pests. Unlike chemical pesticides, these living organisms offer a natural and environmentally friendly approach to pest control that doesn't harm beneficial insects or wildlife, and won't leave toxic residues on your crop. Plus, live predators establish themselves in your growing environment, providing ongoing protection that saves you money in the long run. Adding live predators as a preventative measure is a much better way to approach pests than to wait for signs of infestations. With their insatiable appetite for pests, live predators are highly effective at keeping populations in check, resulting in healthier, more productive crops that can reach their full potential. Choose live predator pests for a sustainable, effective, and cost-efficient pest management program.
