ALWAYS USE THE PACKAGE - Do Not Wait Until You Can See Them - Trust us, they are inside the package. In most cases they are too small for you to see. You need to release your beneficial insects as soon as possible to get the best results. Some are nearly microscopic and are very hard for most people to see. It is difficult to maintain the product quality, its effectiveness.

Whitefly and  Insect Traps

INSECT TRAPS - DON’T GET STUCK WITH THE WRONG INFORMATION !
Use with our Pest Sentry Trap. Yellow sticky card traps make an excellent partner for monitoring the level of your Whitefly pest infestation, but by themselves are not effective at controlling pests. To be effective Traps need to be combined with the organisms in this package. With that knowledge you can time your beneficial insect releases with maximum effectiveness. Place our Insects Traps out shortly after planting and monitor for pests. Then release your bio controls. Professional crop managers use traps as indicators for their bio control programs. Your production goals maybe lower, but your pest control practices should be just as strong, i.e. Grow Like A Pro .

Ant control is crucial to the control of Whiteflies. The ants protect the Whitefly from parasites and predators. Ants treat Whitefly like cattle because they eat the Whitefly droppings. Use MAXFORCE to kill ants. It will kill the ants but not the good bugs in your garden. It does not pose any harm to children, pets or wildlife when used according to directions.

Release Instructions

1) Make your application early or late in the day, just avoid direct sunlight on the package during the application process because it will sterilize or kill them. You may wish to remove or reduce the amount of yellow sticky card traps just prior to your release. One yellow card per 250 sqft will provide a good means of monitoring Whiteflies without trapping too many of your good parasites.

2) Do not apply to dusty trees and plants. It is best to wash down dusty plants and trees. Dust kills beneficial insects and pesky Spider Mites are attracted to dusty plants. Wait until the plants are nearly or totally dry and then make your application.

3) Remember the minimum amount of The Whitefly Destroyer to use is 5 to 25 beetles per plant. Do not release on rain days or days of frost. Hot weather up to 90 F. is fine, the best range is 60F to 90F with a relative humidity of  75% or more. These are ideal conditions, and not necessarily mandatory to get good control.

4) In the early evening or morning open the container next to the infested plant(s). You may either place the open container on the canopy of the plant or gently tap the contents out onto the leaves of the plant.
For use on inside or outside gardens  the small dark black beetles will travel out onto the leaves of the plants and hunt for the Whitefly.
