Application Instructions
Cryptolaemus ladybugs are active from April to July, between 16°C and 35°C. Water lightly in the evening before introducing them, and add flowers to extend their presence. Avoid pesticides, which hinder their establishment, and watch out for ants, as they can harm colonization. Introduce them in the morning or evening by carefully opening the container or sprinkling them on infested plants. Install nets to prevent them from escaping. Repeat the process every 2-3 weeks for best results.
