Mealy Bugs, with their wax coating and ability to hide in the leaf joints and crevices of greenhouse plants, can be hard to get the better of - and our Mealy Bug Killer has had to enlist the help a ladybird from the other side of the world to successfully reduce the numbers of this prevalent greenhouse pest.

Our Mealy Bug Killer contains 25 adult cryptolaemus montrouzieri ladybirds, a native of Australia, which enjoys nothing more than crunching its way through mealy bugs all summer long. The ladybird is most active at temperatures of 23-25ºC and when days are long, and is particularly adept at clearing large infestations of mealy bug. When temperatures are cooler and daylight limited, the ladybird larvae (available in tubes of 10 and 25) will tuck into the pests and are ideal for spot treatments on individual plants. Mealy Bug Killer is supplied with full application instructions.

Build a stockpile of essential pest control liquid with this 1 litre bottle of Organic Savona Fatty Acid Concentrate - a thoroughly efficient formulation which most certainly won't be welcomed by the usual greenhouse suspects of aphids, red spider mites, whiteflies and mealybugs; especially as the concentrate can be diluted to make 50 litres of spray.

Organic Savona Fatty Acid Concentrate won’t leave any harmful residue on the plants; it’s safe to use with care around children and pets and is good for the environment too - not least because the potential 50 litres of spray is contained in one bottle, not the dozens of ready-to-use bottles you need equal this amount and which are disposed of in landfill sites. Also available is a 1ltr empty spray bottle for diluting the Organic Savona Fatty Acid Concentrate into and easy application.
