ENERMIX - Parasitic Wasp 2 Species Mix 

50 cardboard strips with 5 cards each, hatching 15,000 parasitic wasps

*ORDERS FOR BIOLOGICAL PEST CONTROLS MUST BE PLACED BEFORE WEDNESDAYS 11:30 AM PST TO BE SHIPPED THE FOLLOWING WEEK*

Enermix is sold as cards (wrapped in plastic) on cardboard strips in a box containing parasitized whitefly pupae that hatch parasitic wasps. 

Female adult parasitic wasps parasitize second to fourth-stage larvae of the whitefly. Host feeding also takes place.

Use ENERMIX for the biological control of:

  • Greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) 
  • Tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) during the second to fourth larval stage.
  • Use Enermix as a preventive method and when the first signs of the pest appear.

Application Instructions 

  • Open the package carefully inside the greenhouse
  • Bend strips and tear them off. Start tearing opposite the hang-up hole
  • Suspend the cards among the crop, if possible, approximately 75 cm below the top of the plant and not in direct sunlight
  • Do not touch the pupae

What to Expect Upon Arrival

This product arrives on cardboard strips/cards containing parasitized whitefly pupae from both wasp species, not as loose flying adults. Adult wasps emerge after the cards are hung in the crop. Handle cards carefully and avoid touching the pupae.

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.
