Product description

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri is a specialist predator used to eliminate active mealybug infestations. Both adults and larvae feed on mealybug eggs, crawlers, and cottony clusters. This is a curative control — it requires live mealybugs to survive and will decline once the food source is gone.


When to Use Larvae


Treating individual plants or small indoor collections


Targeting visible hotspots


You want predators that stay on the plant


Larvae begin feeding immediately and tend to remain where released, making them ideal for 6"–10" potted plants and shelf setups.


When to Use Adults


Treating greenhouses or large plant rooms


Mealybugs are spread across multiple plants


You want natural dispersal


Adults can fly and search for infestations across a wider area.


Simple rule:

Use larvae for controlled, targeted indoor treatment.

Use adults for broader coverage in larger spaces.
