Small black wasp (2-3 mm.) with narrow waist and long antennae. Adults parasitize aphids turning them brown and mummified. Aphidius life cycle takes 2 weeks.

OPTIMUM CONDITIONS: 18-25C (65-77F).
RELEASE RATE :0.5 to 1 per m. sq. (10 ft. sq.).
It is important to release twice one week apart to establish overlapping generations of parasites.
ORDERING DEADLINE: Only 5000 size is available at this time.
Aphidus Notes: 1. Storage and Hatch: Upon receiving mummies not yet emerged, store the bottle in a shaded location with high humidity at 64 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit until hatch begins (check twice daily). Allow up to 7 days for the hatch. 2. Release Timing: When mummies begin to emerge, release them at sundown on the same day for optimal effectiveness. 3. Release Method: Open the container in the crop and allow the wasps to fly out on their own. Concentrate the bulk of them at release points on or near the most heavily infested plants or where aphids are most likely to appear. The mummies may be sprinkled out. 4. Yellow Sticky Cards: It’s recommended to remove most yellow sticky cards before release. 5. Storage Duration: Do not store the emerged adult wasps in the bottle for more than 18 hours. It is best to use upon arrival.
