Product information
How it works
The Staphyline formulation contains both adults and larvae – for a balanced population. They are a visible predator and adults are mobile which results in good dispersal and establishment. Staphylinid beetles are tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, humidity, light, irrigation and soil conditions which allows them to a be a suitable predator year-round in the greenhouse.
How to use
Rotate the tube several times before opening to mix the contents and push the cut-out on lid where it is marked to open the tube, rotate lid cover to fully open position for application. Shake the contents gently onto your soil and any areas where flies are thought to be breeding. Monitor the performance using fresh yellow sticky traps weekly. Decline of catches on the trap will start at 2-6 weeks post treatment.
Do not use with soil incorporated insecticides without confirming safety. Keep in darkness at 10-15°C / 50-59°F until ready to use and use within 18 hours of receipt.
