Origin
British Columbia

Description

Eretmocerus eremicus is an invaluable asset when it comes to controlling whitefly populations in greenhouses. This small parasitoid wasp feeds on larvae, which allows for a significant reduction in populations quickly. Thanks to the large number of eggs that females lay and their impressive reproductive speed, they have an impressive parasitism rate (74%). Combined with Encarsia formosa, you get a powerful combination that helps eradicate whiteflies.
