CHRYSOcontrol (Chrysoperla carnea) 10K Loose Bucket 5L

CHRYSOcontrol (Chrysoperla carnea) – Flexible Pest Predator for Overlapping Infestations

Aphids on the new growth. Thrips playing hide-and-seek in the flowers. Mites and whitefly tucked in under the leaves. When you’ve got more than one pest kicking off at once, CHRYSOcontrol gives you a roaming, all-purpose clean-up crew that doesn’t mess about.

This product brings in Chrysoperla carnea, or green lacewing—but don’t expect the grown-ups to do the heavy lifting. It’s the larvae you want: small, grey, and constantly on the move. They wander through the crop like little pest-seeking missiles, chomping their way through anything soft-bodied and in the wrong place. Aphids usually get hit first, but they’re not fussy. Thrips, spider mites, whitefly nymphs, leafhoppers—even young caterpillars—none of them get a free pass.

That kind of broad appetite makes them especially handy when pest problems overlap. If sprays are off the menu, or you’ve already got other beneficials in play, CHRYSOcontrol blends in and backs you up without disrupting the rest of your programme.

Use them as early insurance or ramp things up when pests start showing. Either way, they don’t stand still—and neither should you.

Works well for:

• Crops facing multiple soft-bodied pests at once
• Protected environments like tunnels, glasshouses, and indoor systems
• Growers using biocontrol mixes or reducing chemical inputs
• Ornamentals, salad veg, soft fruit, or plug production

Application advice:

Apply 10–20 larvae per square metre for routine protection, or up to 50 per m² if you’re already seeing pest activity. Shake them straight onto the foliage—not the compost—and aim for a calm time of day. Early morning or near dusk works best. Steer clear of recent pesticide sprays that could get in their way.
