Meanwhile the parasitic wasp lays an egg inside each aphid — after about ten days the aphid swells into a papery bronze \"mummy\", and two weeks later a fresh wasp chews its way out to hunt again. Two life cycles, one quiet victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavy infestations, first give the plant a good rinse with water or insecticidal soap. Open the box out in the greenhouse next to the affected plants and set it in the shade (for example under a clay pot with a hole). The insects take over from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers approximately 10 m².
