Wheast provides a supplemental food source for beneficial insects.
Instructions for Use
- For lacewing adults and larvae and other beneficials, helping them complete their life cycle in the crop.
- Can attract and encourage beneficials insects in the garden, especially helpful during drought.
- Mix one part of the food with an equal part of honey or sugar. Add water, slowly, until a thick paste is formed. It should be smooth and creamy like peanut butter.
- Paint this mixture on cardboard or wooden stakes and place in garden or greenhouse in target areas.
-
Leave crawling spaces on stakes so the insects can feed without getting stuck on the paste.
The best time for feeding is early morning, late evening and when making releases of beneficial insects. If you mix too much paste for a feeding, refrigerate the remainder and use within five days. Dry mix will keep well if protected from light and moisture. The mixture can also be diluted further with water for spray applications (use 1 quart per 4 oz. of food/sugar mixture).
