Bug Sales Trichogramma 3 Squares/ 12,000 Eggs

Packaged well, shipped fast, easy to use. We had pantry moth infestation from contaminated bird seed--this was in our sunroom of which one wall was brick ( sunroom added on to end of house) and that brick wall was the problem. RIgorous cleaning, vacuuming, vinegar solution--all done daily for 3 months which reduced the population, but moths kept emerging so we knew there were still nests and eggs --moths were nesting in grooves in brick and also where brick wall met tile floor. Caulked and sealed sunroom, but still 10-15 per week ( still daily cleaning and catching moths in traps). Although we had sealed the room off and no food or people activity, they kept coming. Ordered these wasps and voila! the sunroom went silent--no moths, I mean absolutely nothing. We have gone 10 days now without moths and I'm starting to breathe again. Plus, we are having a warm Spring so I know the moths are not in diaphase--they are just gone. I've discovered if you have a brick wall, fireplace, rock wall, etc. the moth problem CANNOT be treated conventionally--we had called 2 well-known exterminating companies and they couldn't rid us of moths. Rock and brick just provide too many convenient places to nest and egg, plus even washing these walls down with sudsy water, vinegar solution only works to reduce numbers. Ditto for peppermint spray. I am so appreciative for this product and this company--wish I had known about wasps from the beginning--it would have saved me 4-5 months of useless work. Only after contacting Pest COuncil ( for farmers ) did I hear about Tricho Wasps. If you have pantry moths, get these right away! WIth these and Dr Killamoth traps ( also on Amazon) you can save money and work--let the predator wasps work for you.

I ordered a few packs of these because we had a clothes moth issue and we had just located the source (a bag my partner brought home with him from travel, which was stored under our bed). We took the carpet out from the bedroom and trashed it and I thoroughly cleaned everywhere I could imagine any eggs/larvae to be, as well as put up hangers with the hormone traps all over the house, lavendar/cedar, etc. After reading horror stories of these things being impossible to rid your house of, I decided to go the extra mile and order some of these from this seller because, 1) I couldn't find them anywhere else in the US, and 2) other reviewers seemed to have success with these and clothes moths. They arrived within a few days and I set them under our bed, spread out, leaning against the supports. I wasn't sure if they were hatching, etc. - mainly, because I had no idea what to look for since they're sooooo tiny (a few had hatched in the white packaging en route and they're thankfully much smaller than expected) - until I really got under there and, lo and behold, there were a million black dots covering an area right up against our baseboards that I honestly couldn't even see were covered with larvae/eggs. I was so freaked out, I cloroxed and steamed + sprayed pesticide everywhere I saw the black spots and discovered that, yep, they were in our baseboard behind the bed. Talk about my worst nightmare. Either way, I immediately ordered more of these since it's likely I killed the good AND bad guys with my thorough cleaning, and probably will continue to treat throughout the year and once again in the spring and summer. THEY WORK. I rarely leave reviews, but GET THEM. Also, the instructions aren't suuuuuper clear, but I just cut open the white packages and set these close to where I wanted to target. I'd imagine they'd be easy to hang in a closet as well, but I just set them on the floor, leaning up against our bed's support posts under the bed. Thank you so much for providing these! A real life-saver that takes the guesswork out of trying to locate the problem and is very, very effective.

I had read a few reviews saying their bugs were hatched before they reached them, but the majority of reviews seemed positive so I took a chance. Unfortunately after my package was delayed twice and there was nothing in the package to keep the bugs cool, mine were also hatched before they reached me and so now I must look elsewhere.

TL;DR: Order Trichogramma eggs, they will eat the moth eggs, then die. Months and months ago, I received a bag of cockatiel seed that had little hanging strings of seeds caught in "web" inside it. Turns out it was Pantry Moth/Indianmeal Moth/Flour Moth pupae. Before I knew it, I had countless little brown moths flying around and gross white worms climbing the walls. They would eat my birds' food, grubs crawling through it, and they migrated into my cabinets to lay eggs in my flour, too. Of course I cleaned the cage with my hot steam cleaner, sprayed it with vinegar water and let it sit in the hot sun, then re-rinsed it. I bought pheromone glue traps, which caught HUNDREDS of moths, until there was no more glue surface to stick to. I bought blacklight bugzappers and left them on only at night when the birds were roosting in the cage, which drew the moths in and zapped them. But their eggs must've been in multiple places in the house, they kept coming back in full force. Then I discovered mail-order Trichogramma wasp eggs. Sounds scary! But no, when they hatch the "wasps" are MICRO, the size of pepper flakes, they do not look like the scary normal wasps we all know, and they LOVE to search out and EAT moth eggs! Once all the moth eggs are eaten, they die off because there is no more food. They do not bother you or the birds, and I've never even seen one. They come in a small sheet of paper coated in "pepper flakes" (their eggs). You can cut it up, I cut into three strips. I made a tiny "cage" (4"x4"x4") out of small-gauge chicken wire (too small for the birds to get into), and put one strip in that tiny cage and put it into the birds' main cage. I put one strip under the main bird cage but out of the birds' reach. And one strip under my kitchen cabinets. Apparently they hatched (never even saw them, they are so small), and over the course of two weeks there were fewer and fewer moths, and today is the first day there were zero. For anyone dealing with a stubborn pantry moth infestation, spend a few bucks and RELEASE THE WASPS! Followup 2 months later: Moths are gone! And before I tried the wasps, they were EVERYWHERE, with worms crawling on my walls and moths flying around. Before the wasps, I had even found worm casings deep inside boxesI thought were sealed, and inside seed treats that were covered. I kind of did two rounds of wasps, because I think at first only one strip hatched and that first round quickly and significantly reduced the moths. After a few weeks, a few moths came back, so I checked on two wasp egg strips and saw they hadn't hatched. I put them closer to warm lights, and within a week, I haven't seen any more moths. Miracle worker for me!

Order arrived with eggs already hatched. Don't know if more hatched after receiving and don't know if the ones that already hatched did anything to mitigate moth issue

I used this to try and control wool carpet moths. I've made two purchases so far and it's been over 6 months so lots of time has passed. I've read the info on the vendor's website and understand that results can take a while. My first concern was, after a couple weeks, not seeing any evidence of life near the square. While I know these critters are very small, one should be able to see little black specs on a light colored background. I only saw a few. Over time, I found they had little impact on the moth situation. Eventually I had to spray with permethrin and found that to be much more effective, although it was disappointing that I had to resort to chemicals instead of a natural solution. At one point, I wrote a letter to the vendor relaying my concerns. The response I got was a condescending form letter, telling me what I already read and not really answering anything. Finally I think most of the eggs on a card are not viable for whatever reason (I deployed mine pretty quickly upon receiving them, cutting them up and placing them around the room). Here's a pic of one I laid out last summer. As you can see, it looks like maybe 25% of the eggs ever hatched.

I enjoy growing cannabis (legally) outdoors. The past few years ive been dealing with caterpillars on my plants. These caterpillars love to eat the buds and once they eat their way to the inside of a bud, good luck finding it. You will know when that big beautiful bud starts to die and see little brown specks of caterpillar poop. They are hard to see since they are usually the same color as the plant and are active at night. Ive spent hours meticulously checking my plants for these and since I grow organically, chemical pesticides are not even an option. After hearing about these tiny little wasps (harmless to people) that has the sole purpose in life to search out the moth eggs that will hatch caterpillars and burrow into them to lay their eggs, I had to give them a try. Im so glad I did because these amazing little guys did the job. I started off with buying 6 squares of Trichogramma eggs from NATURES GOODS GUYS 3 squares have between 10,000-12,000 eggs and treats up to 1500-3000 sq.ft They ship them with 2 day delivery since they are live and close to hatching. I hung a card in each of my 6 plants and in a couple days most of the eggs looked like they hatched. The tiny wasp is almost impossible to see. You can fit several adults on a tip of a pencil. After a week I still saw a few caterpillars on my plants. Time to go nuclear! I bought a nice bug zapper for the moths in the evening and this time I ordered the 30 square option which is about 100,000 eggs and treats 1-2 acres. One bad thing about central California is that its hotter than hell in the summer. So when my order arrived there were alot of hatched and dead wasps. I contacted Natures Good Guys and they were beyond cool. Immediately sent a replacement no charge. Super Friendly and very cool people at that company. After I placed the new cards everywhere in my yard, trees, bushes, plants, fence line. Harvest time was incredible with barely any loss at all. I wont grow any plants without these guys having my back. If you grow organic or chemical / pesticide free, Natures Good Guys is a must!!! They have beneficial insects for all crops, check em out. 100% recommend!!! AND VERY INEXPENSIVE!! $8.99 for 10,000 eggs $23.99 for 100, 000 or get a subscription for your grow season and automatically get fresh cards every week or bi weekly or monthly for max protection.
