Aphid Predator Attractant Beneficial Insect Attractant

This aphid predator bait is a natural insect attractant that attracts beneficial insects that eat aphids. It contains a special blend of scents that plants naturally release when they’re being attacked. These scents attract insects that eat or attack garden pests.

• Brings in natural predators like hoverflies, lacewings, and tiny wasps that help control aphids in your garden
• Great for fruit trees, vegetable beds, flowers, and greenhouse plants where pests often appear
• No sprays or chemicals needed – just hang and let nature do the work
• Easy to use with hanging tie included
• Use in garden beds, fruit trees, greenhouses, flower borders

The sachet slowly releases these scents for up to 6 weeks, depending on the weather. You can hang it in trees, on plant stems, or near flowers and shrubs that pests like to target. Just use the green tie that comes with it to hang the sachet above the plants you want to protect.

It’s best to start using the predator attractant early in the season (March or April) to stop pests before they become a bigger problem but continue to use to prevent further infestations. It’s a simple and natural way to protect your garden and support pollinators and other good bugs.

Beneficial Insects Attracted and Their Primary Prey

Lacewings

Primary prey:

• Aphids (major target)
• Whiteflies
• Mealybugs
• Spider mites
• Thrips
• Small caterpillars and insect eggs

Predatory stage: The larvae are the main predators (nicknamed "aphid lions" for a reason). Adults of some species feed on nectar and pollen, while others may also hunt pests.

Hoverflies (Syrphid flies)

Primary prey (larvae only):

• Aphids
• Scale insects
• Small caterpillars
• Thrips (less common)

Predatory stage: Only the larvae are predators. Adult hoverflies feed on nectar and pollen, making them excellent pollinators too.

Anthocorid Bugs (e.g. Minute Pirate Bugs)

Primary prey:

• Thrips
• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Spider mites
• Insect eggs
• Small caterpillars

Predatory stage: Both nymphs and adults are highly predatory. These tiny bugs are fast-moving and aggressive feeders.

Parasitic Wasps (Parasitoids)

Primary prey/hosts Aphids

• Whiteflies
• Caterpillars
• Leaf miners
• Mealybugs
• Other insect larvae

How they work: Female wasps lay eggs inside or on a pest. The developing wasp larva feeds on the host insect, eventually killing it. These wasps are highly specific to certain pests and are often used in targeted biocontrol.
