MIGLYPHUS 500 - Parasitic wasp Diglyphus Isaea
*ORDERS FOR BIOLOGICAL PEST CONTROLS MUST BE PLACED BEFORE WEDNESDAYS AT 11:30 AM PST TO BE SHIPPED THE FOLLOWING WEEK*
Adult female parasitic wasps of Diglyphus Isaea kill leaf-miner larvae in the mine and lay their eggs on them. The eggs develop into parasitic wasps inside the mine (but outside the leaf miner), using the dead larvae as food.
Use Miglyphus for biological pest control of:
- Leaf miners in all larval stages, especially the second and third stages. Introduce the product at the first sign of pest presence. Miglyphus is recommended when leaf miner infection increases.
Application Instructions
- Release parasitic wasps between leaves in the morning or in the evening.
- Diglyphus becomes effective at temperatures of 15°C and higher.
What to Expect Upon Arrival
This product arrives as live adult Diglyphus isaea parasitic wasps in a bottle. Adults are very small and may be slow after transit. Release between the leaves of the crop, ideally in the morning or evening, and as soon as possible after arrival.
Important Notes
We import most biological controls fresh to help ensure customers receive active, viable beneficial insects, mites, and nematodes. Because these are living products with limited shelf life, we do not keep most biologicals stocked in-house.
Please inspect your package and product immediately upon arrival, before release. If you have any concerns about condition or viability, contact us before releasing at admin@optimizeorganics.ca with your order number and clear photos of the package and product. Once beneficials have been released, it becomes much more difficult for us to assess their condition on arrival.
Biological pest control is rarely a one-and-done release. In most active pest situations, sequential releases are needed to build and maintain beneficial populations while pest eggs continue to hatch and existing pest pressure is reduced.
Avoid spraying pesticides, oils, soaps, or other residues immediately before or after release unless compatibility has been confirmed, as these may harm beneficials.
