Both whitefly wasps, gradual release, so you cover both species hands-free

This is the dual-species whitefly program in a gradual-release format. The blister packs carry both Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus, so greenhouse and silverleaf whitefly are both covered, and the wasps emerge slowly over time for steady, hands-off protection. You do not need to identify which whitefly you have, and you do not need to time a single burst. Hang the packs and let both species work the canopy.

Covers both whitefly species Gradual, hands-off emergence Ships live, overnight Tuesdays

Live insects ship on Tuesdays only and arrive Wednesday. Orders must be placed 7 days in advance. Anything ordered by 3pm EST Tuesday ships the following Tuesday by UPS overnight shipping.

One-species bursts vs. a dual-species gradual program
Single species, single burst
  • One wasp covers only one whitefly species
  • Open cards release over a shorter window
  • You must identify the species to treat right
  • Whitefly rebuild fast after spraying
  • Chemicals leave residue and re-entry waits
  • Coverage ends when spraying ends
Dual-species blister packs
  • Two wasps cover greenhouse and silverleaf together
  • Blister packs extend emergence for steadier cover
  • No identification needed, both are covered
  • Parasitized scales die and produce more wasps
  • No residue and no re-entry interval
  • Wasps reproduce on site for ongoing control
Why the dual-species blister is the simple option

Both whitefly species, one pack 2 wasp species

Encarsia formosa handles greenhouse whitefly and Eretmocerus eremicus handles silverleaf, so the pack covers whichever you have without needing to tell them apart.

Extended, gradual emergence

The blister format releases both wasps slowly over time rather than in one burst, giving steady whitefly coverage from a single hands-off placement.

Kills the hidden nymphs

Both wasps lay eggs in whitefly larvae and pupae on the leaf undersides, killing the pest at the stages sprays rarely reach.

Clean canopy placement

The packs hang in the canopy and protect the wasps as they emerge, keeping the release clean and off flowers, buds, and fruit.

No guesswork

Because both species are present, you are covered whether you have greenhouse whitefly, silverleaf, or a mix, which removes the identification headache.

Builds its own numbers

New wasps emerge from parasitized scales, so a repeated program develops a self-renewing dual-species population in the canopy.

Application instructions
1

Hang the blister packs in the canopy; both wasps emerge gradually over time.

2

Space them evenly, shaded from direct sun and drip.

3

Repeat during whitefly pressure for steady dual-species cover.

4

No need to identify the whitefly; both species are covered.

How the dual-species packs clear whitefly

1

Hang the packs

Place the blister packs in the canopy across the grow, spaced fairly evenly and shaded from direct light and drip.

2

Both wasps emerge gradually

The packs release Encarsia and Eretmocerus slowly over time, spreading coverage across an extended window.

3

They parasitize the nymphs

The wasps lay eggs in whitefly larvae and pupae on the leaf undersides, which darken and die instead of maturing.

4

Population renews itself

New wasps emerge from parasitized scales, so a repeated program keeps both whitefly species suppressed over the season.

Frequently asked questions
Greenhouse and silverleaf whitefly are hard to tell apart, and a single wasp only covers one of them. This pack carries both Encarsia and Eretmocerus, so the right wasp is always present for whatever you have, and the gradual blister release gives steady coverage without timing a single burst.
Both cover both whitefly species. The difference is release speed: the blister packs emerge gradually over an extended window for hands-off, steady coverage, while the open mix cards release a bit faster for quicker response. Choose based on whether you want speed or steadiness.
Because emergence is gradual, results build steadily. Expect darkened, parasitized scales within a week or two and adult whitefly numbers to taper over the following weeks. A few consistent cycles matter more than one big drop.
Live insects ship overnight on Tuesdays only, so they arrive Wednesday while still fresh. Place your order at least 7 days ahead so we can include you in the next weekly dispatch. We cannot ship live insects to HI, PR, VI, GU, AS, or PW. Open the package and release the same day it arrives.
