Macrolophus pygmaeus – Larvae (x50, x125, x500): Targeted, Natural Pest Control

Macrolophus pygmaeus is a reliable and highly efficient biological control agent against common garden pests such as thrips, whiteflies, spider mites, caterpillar eggs, and aphids. This version contains only predatory larvae, making it ideal for direct and immediate intervention in infested crops.

Why choose Macrolophus pygmaeus larvae?

Unlike adults, the larvae focus entirely on predation. They begin feeding as soon as they are released, offering fast curative action. Eggs are later laid inside plant tissues, allowing for a natural, invisible reproductive cycle and ongoing protection through future generations.

Available in four convenient sizes

• x50: for small vegetable patches or indoor grows
• x125: ideal for medium-sized greenhouses or garden tunnels
• x500: designed for commercial-scale or large horticultural production

How to apply

Apply around 10 larvae per plant for long-term effectiveness. Distribute the larvae on the leaves or at the base of each plant. Avoid chemical treatments 3 days before and after release. At 18°C, larvae reach adulthood in 3 to 4 weeks, at which point reproduction begins for natural, ongoing protection.

Fast shipping & eco-responsible packaging

Raised in Brittany, France, Macrolophus larvae are shipped within 48 business hours. They arrive in a ventilated cardboard container with a transparent lid, food source, and protective kraft insert. The packaging is 100% biodegradable and ready for immediate use in crops such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants.

These larvae thrive in sheltered horticultural environments such as tunnels and greenhouses. They integrate perfectly into organic gardening or integrated pest management (IPM) systems.
