Michael, as natural antagonist to the egg stages of moths, the Trichogramma wasps could not find other food sources after their “work”. Dead wasps with a size of 0,3-0,4mm could cleaned away afterwards. 1000 Trichogramma wasps (dried) have a weight about 0,002 g.

Februar 2021 22:29 An: pestlist@googlegroups.com Betreff: Re: [PestList] Trichogramma Wasps Greetings, With both methods, what would leave less biological waste behind (since death moths are food sources for living pests)? And would the Trichogramma wasps die off after the target pest is eliminated, or could they find another food source and create their own infestation? Thank you, Michael R.
