They hatch from carrier cards in the fruit tree and parasitize the eggs of the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) before the larvae can hatch. They are a biological alternative to chemical sprays in the orchard and are harmless to humans and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhen someone is already living in your apple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou bite into an apple and find a brown tunnel full of crumbs. Right in the middle sits a small caterpillar, the famous apple worm. It is the larva of the codling moth (Cydia pomonella), an inconspicuous moth that lays its eggs directly on leaves and young fruit. After hatching, the larva eats its way into the fruit, leaving behind boreholes, tunnels, and frass. Usually, the infestation is only noticed once the fruits are already damaged or fall from the tree prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eFighting codling moths before the caterpillar is inside the fruit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe codling moth is one of the most stubborn pests in fruit growing and does not stop at pears and plums. Whether it's a single apple tree in a home garden or an entire meadow orchard, the pattern is the same. You can barely see the caterpillars in the apple tree, and once they are inside the fruit, nothing can reach them from the outside. The crucial moment therefore lies earlier, at egg-laying, starting from about mid-May. Because you want to eat your own fruit, you don't want any chemicals on the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eTiny guardians in the tree canopy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGREEN GUARDIA Trichogramma wasps are only 0.3–0.4 mm in size and have exactly one job. They hatch from carrier cards that you hang directly in the tree and search for moth eggs on leaves, branches, and fruits. They lay their own eggs inside these, so no caterpillar can hatch from the moth egg. The work begins a few days after hanging. If there are no more eggs left, the beneficial insects disappear without leaving any residue. They do not sting and are harmless to humans and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eBuy Trichogramma wasps against codling moths as a 9-week treatment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who wants to fight codling moths needs perseverance, as the moth lays new eggs over several weeks. A single application is not enough. That is why our Trichogramma wasps come as a 9-week treatment in three deliveries. The first arrives 1–3 days after your order, the second follows after three weeks, and the third after six weeks. This covers the entire egg-laying period, and you pay for each subsequent delivery automatically just before shipping, without a subscription. We recommend three cards per tree; you can order 3 to 15 cards per delivery. The beneficial insects are bred in Germany and are shipped as live goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhen are Trichogramma wasps the right choice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Trichogramma wasps if you have apple or pear trees in your garden or meadow orchard and found worms in the fruit last year. They are the right choice if you want to harvest without using sprays and can hang the cards in the trees in time for egg-laying, starting from about mid-May. They work best as a complete 9-week treatment because this covers the entire egg-laying period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhen Trichogramma wasps are not the right solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrichogramma wasps only reach the eggs of the codling moth. They cannot catch caterpillars that have already bored into the fruit. If you only start when the apples are already punctured, you are fighting the next egg-laying cycles but will not save the currently infested fruit. A single delivery also does not replace a full treatment. You should continue to collect and dispose of infested fruit and fallen fruit—do not put them on the compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e2f1e2; padding: 16px; border-left: 4px solid #305832; border-radius: 8px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e GREEN GUARDIA Trichogramma wasps are a biological, residue-free solution against the codling moth in the orchard.
