Live Pest Control Distribution Box

This distribution box is a small card hanging box which can be used to help apply any beneficial predator product. The built-in hanger allows the distribution box to hang from plant leaves and branches to allow easy application of beneficial insects.

Some natural predators are delivered in packets containing free-flowing material such as bran, vermiculite, popcorn or buckwheat. This free-flowing material needs to be applied to the area where treatment is required, this can be done by gently sprinkling the pack contents over the leaves of the plant, or by adding it to distribution boxes which are then hung from plants. Use of distribution boxes removes the risk of the beneficial predators falling from the leaves they are applied to, and onto the floor.

Distribution boxes should be spaced at one box per plant. To avoid beneficial predators fighting with each other, only one predator species at a time should be added to one distribution box.

Distribution boxes are ideal for repeated use, allowing repeated release of beneficial insects and mites. Being made from card, once no longer needed the distribution boxes can be either recycled or composted.
