Aphidoletes Aphidimyza Live Nymphs for Aphids
Aphidoletes Aphidimyza Live Nymphs for Aphids
Aphidoletes aphidimyza Live Nymphs are ready-to-hunt aphid predators delivered in the active nymph stage. Each nymph can kill up to 65 aphids per day, with feeding starting on contact and no pupation delay. Designed for greenhouses, gardens, and high-density crops, these predators require soil or substrate for pupation and should not be used on hydro or sterile surfaces. Optimal conditions are 50–88°F and moderate to high humidity, with releases in shaded or protected zones.
Targets over 60 aphid species, including black bean aphids (Aphis fabae), lettuce aphids (Nasonovia ribisnigri), melon/cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii), rose aphids (Macrosiphum rosae), potato aphids (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), and cherry and honeysuckle aphids. The bottle contains live nymph-stage predators ready to hunt on release; nymphs feed immediately and for 7–10 days before pupating in soil. Adults emerge in 10–14 days and restart the cycle. Use 1 nymph per 3 square feet for general prevention; 1,000–4,000 nymphs per acre for heavy outbreaks; spot-treat dense colonies and repeat weekly for 2–3 weeks. Do not spray pesticides; store at 50–60°F for up to 24 hours; ships overnight with live delivery guarantee.

Let customers speak for us
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
