Gardening Naturally Aphid Killer (Ladybirds - Aphidalia)
Gardening Naturally Aphid Killer (Ladybirds - Aphidalia)
Control aphids naturally and easily with their natural predator, ladybirds (Adalia bipuctana). Available as larvae or adults, these ladybirds will work all spring and summer to control or eliminate pest aphids, including green and blackfly larvae. Promote plant health without relying on synthetic pesticides with this effective biological control.
How It Works
These ladybirds will get to work controlling aphid populations in both indoor and outdoor growing environments. They represent a natural contribution to long-term aphid reduction and control. They work best once aphids are already present.
Easy Application
- Simply place 2-10 adults every meter or so, close to where the aphids are.
- For the larvae, simply hang the bag on a tree near the first branch and let them grow and spread.
- Introduce the ladybirds at the first sign of aphids for the best control.
Safe, Eco-Friendly & Long-Lasting
These ladybirds are a brilliant way to treat pests in a natural and pleasant way while supporting plant health and wildlife.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are nematodes safe to use around pets, people, and wildlife?
Yes, when used as directed, nematodes target specific pests in soil, unlike metaldehyde options like certain slug pellets, and are widely used in organic-style pest management. Apply nematodes to moist soil and water well. Read our blog on Nematodes for Slugs to learn exactly how they work.
When should I use biological pest control for best results?
Start early, as soon as you spot a pest problem or expect eggs to hatch. Biological control works best when you act before numbers explode.
Can I use biological control agents with chemical pesticides?
Often not at the same time as many pesticides can harm beneficial organisms. If you’ve sprayed recently, check product guidance and allow a safe gap before introducing predators or nematodes. Be sure to check the current guidance on certain pesticides as outdoor use of metaldehydes are banned in the UK.
What flowers and plants do pests usually target first?
Pests usually target soft, tender new growth first like seedlings, fresh shoots, and flower buds, especially on plants like brassicas, hostas, and roses. Stressed plants (too dry, overcrowded, or underfed) are often hit even faster.
