Vespidend sucks out the body contents of its prey, leaving only the empty skin.
| Pack size | 1.000 adults. |
| Presentation | 100 ml bottle. |

Vespidend should always be introduced in at least 2 releases. Time the second release according to the life cycle duration to avoid cannibalism of adults on larvae. Preventive release is advised to minimize crop damage, but also requires supplementary feeding. Curative strategies take longer to show efficacy and usually the crop endures more damage (results can be seen 4-5 weeks after the first release).
Preventive dosages: 2-5 individuals / m2 + EntoFood
Curative dosages: 5-10 individuals / m2 in “easy” crops, 10-20 individuals / m2 in more “difficult” crops
Vespidend is active in a temperature range from 18°C/64°F to 30°C/86°F.
