Parasitic Wasps Beneficial to gardeners and farmers, these tiny, delicate insects feast on aphids, caterpillars, beetles, scale, and flies. These miniscule wasps are attracted to pollen and nectar. These insects can truly benefit your organic garden. The female parasitic wasp will paralyze an adult insect or larva and place its eggs inside. Upon hatching the parasitic wasp larvae will feed on the host insect. | | | Benefits Parasitic wasps help farmers and gardeners in naturally controlling crops by killing those insects that are harmful to the crops. By doing so, these beneficial insects help reduce the insect pest populations and thereby help growers improve their field and garden produce. They are sometimes introduced to an area because of this beneficial quality. They can be purchased from commercial growers to combat infestations of insect pests. They are often used in combination with other insect control methods such as environmental controls and organic controls (although you must be careful not to spray anything that would wipe out the parasitic wasps while killing the insect pest). Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective insect control products that are gentler on the environment! Most of them proudly display the OMRI Listed® organic seal and comply for use in organic gardening!
