Aphid Triple Wasp Mix for Broad Aphid Control is a biological control blend featuring three aphid parasitoid wasps designed to combat a broad range of aphids without needing species identification. This mix covers multiple aphid species and sizes—from melon aphids to potato aphids to rose aphids—and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments.

The blend includes Aphidius colemani, Aphidius ervi, and Aphelinus abdominalis. They are parasitoids that inject eggs into aphids rather than eating them. Aphidius colemani targets smaller aphids such as green peach, melon, and cotton; Aphidius ervi handles larger species such as foxglove, potato, and tobacco; Aphelinus abdominalis is a long-term generalist. Together, they offer early knockdown and longer-term suppression without needing to identify the aphid species. You’ll see aphid mummies before live aphids disappear.
