About CryptoLiv

CryptoLiv contains adult Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, a specialist predator commonly known as the mealybug destroyer.

This predator has a strong preference for mealybugs and cannot complete its life cycle without them, which makes it highly skilled at locating and targeting mealybug infestations.

CryptoLiv is best used when mealybugs are already present and is ideal for hotspot treatments.

Target Pest

  • Mealybugs

CryptoLiv

Related to lady beetles, CryptoLiv are predatory beetles that hunt several species of mealybugs. Both the adults and larvae hunt for prey. They have a large appetite consuming about 30-70 mealybugs per day. Adults are able to fly, making for easy dispersal throughout the crop. The larva mimics the appearance of mealybugs, which allows them to invade mealybug colonies unnoticed. Cryptolaemus can eat other soft-bodied insects if mealybugs are not available but won't complete its life cycle on certain diets.

mealy bugs

I have ordered 3 times from this company. We are trying to get rid of mealy bugs.
First 2 times, I got 50 beetles for 64 dollars. The third time we got 250 beetles for 85. Huge discrepancy there between 50 and 250 for only 20 bucks more. Not sure there was 250 beetles in the bottle. Wasn't about to count them, but I really wonder. Didn't look like 250 beetles. The customer service was excellant. I hope that we can finally get rid of mealy bugs... Soon we will just have to toss all the plants.

unwanted bugs

I have a lot of plants and had a bad mealy bug problem. I ordered the bugs 2 times only because the first time they all flew outside . That was my fault. Second time was better all the doors and windows closed. I do still have mealy bugs so they did not get to all of them. I do have a lot of plants !
