Hi Katherine, My understanding is that Trichogramma wasps are not available for use in the US. If you discover otherwise or find a working alternative, please share!

I recall such a treatment was used at Blickling Hall several years ago, but I don't remember if there was any follow-up. I'd be interested to know if others have used a similar treatment before or since and if it was effective. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
