Aphidoletes-System - devouring aphid hotspots
Gall midge larva with voracious appetite
- Targets aphid hotspots – female gall midges fly in search of aphid colonies to lay eggs in
- Quick to establish – females lay up to 100 eggs per aphid hotspot
- Controls various aphid species – Aphidoletes larvae consume most aphids
- Highly efficient – on hatching, predatory larvae get straight to work
- Voracious feeders – a single larva can eat up to 100 aphids
- Relishes large hotspots – larvae kill more aphids than they need – overkill
- Does not cause leaf damage - no gall formation.
