They are a biological alternative to chemical pesticides and work best between 20 and 30 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eSilvery leaves, stunted shoots: why thrips are noticed so late\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrips are a good millimeter long and hide where nobody looks: in buds, in leaf folds, and in half-opened flowers. They pierce the cells and suck them dry, leaving behind a silvery sheen that is only noticed once an entire area is affected. Add to that the tiny black droppings and flowers that open deformed or drop off immediately. By the time this becomes visible, the infestation is already several generations old, and a portion of it is pupating in the substrate, where a spray would be ineffective anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003ePredatory bugs against spider mites and thrips for windowsills, greenhouses, and conservatories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrius needs warmth and consistent conditions, which is why they are best used in sheltered areas. Houseplants on the windowsill, where thrips infestations often really get going in the winter. Greenhouses and conservatories, where the climate remains constant. Ornamental and potted plants, vegetables, and herbs grown in protected areas. What they all have in common: temperatures between 20 and 30 °C. Incidentally, the bugs will also take care of anything else present, including spider mites and aphids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhat Orius predatory bugs do against thrips on the plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrius laevigatus is an active hunter, and this applies to every stage of its life: the nymphs eat just as much as the adults. Both go after thrips in various stages of development, including those that are already walking and jumping. Orius predatory bugs find their prey themselves. Whatever else is within range is also taken care of: spider mites, aphids, and the eggs and larvae of other pests. There is no need for chemical pesticides, and no residues are left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eOrius or predatory mites: which beneficial insect suits your infestation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tube with 30 beneficial insects covers about 5 to 10 square meters, for example, ten tubes for around 100 m². You simply calculate based on area. When dealing with thrips, you can choose between two beneficial insects from our range: predatory mites target eggs and larvae and keep the population down; they work from 18 °C and prefer 60 to 80 percent humidity. Orius predatory bugs target all stages but require 20 to 30 °C. For a fresh, small infestation, predatory mites are sufficient. If flying thrips are already present or the greenhouse is warm, the predatory bugs are the more powerful tool. Using both together is, by the way, not a contradiction. The live products are delivered in tubes; it is best to release them shortly after receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhen are Orius predatory bugs the right choice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Orius predatory bugs if you have thrips on houseplants, in the greenhouse, in the conservatory, or on potted plants and the infestation no longer consists only of eggs and larvae, but also includes flying insects. They are the right choice if you are working in sheltered rooms with a constant 20 to 30 °C and want to avoid chemical pesticides, even on vegetables and herbs. The sooner you use them, the less they have to catch up on. Release them directly onto the affected plant parts, and they will find the thrips as quickly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2f5c36; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 32px;\"\u003eWhen predatory bugs are not the right solution for aphids or thrips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow 20 °C, Orius becomes sluggish, so use in an unheated conservatory or outdoors is not worthwhile. Anyone using chemical pesticides before or after releasing the bugs will negate their effect. There is no instant effect here either: the bugs hunt from the very first minute, but this only becomes visible when the next generation of thrips fails to appear, and in the case of a severe infestation, a second release is necessary. You cannot plan their use long in advance, as the bugs are live products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e6f5e6; padding: 16px; border-left: 4px solid #2f5c36; border-radius: 8px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e With GREEN GUARDIA Orius predatory bugs, you can tackle thrips at all stages of development – biologically, residue-free, and also on vegetables and herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 0; font-weight: bold; color: #2f5c36;\"\u003eHungry for your pests: Order Orius predatory bugs now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Green Guardia - Ihr Schädlingsexperte","offers":[{"title":"1x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 5-10m²","offer_id":54203409269075,"sku":"orius_1_31094","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 10-20m²","offer_id":54203409301843,"sku":"orius_2_31100","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 15-30m²","offer_id":54203409334611,"sku":"orius_3_31117","price":49.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 20-40m²","offer_id":54203409367379,"sku":"orius_4_31124","price":64.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 25-50m²","offer_id":54203409400147,"sku":"orius_5_31131","price":79.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 30-60m²","offer_id":54203409432915,"sku":"orius_6_31148","price":94.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 35-70m²","offer_id":54203409465683,"sku":"orius_7_31155","price":109.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 40-80m²","offer_id":54203409498451,"sku":"orius_8_31162","price":124.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 45-90m²","offer_id":54203409531219,"sku":"orius_9_31179","price":139.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x 30 beneficial insects for approx. 50-100m²","offer_id":54203409563987,"sku":"orius_10_31186","price":154.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4825\/0195\/files\/orius-raubwanzen-gegen-alle-stadien-von-thripse-8220094.png?v=1783219767","url":"https:\/\/griinguardia.com\/en\/products\/orius-pirate-bugs-against-thrips","provider":"Green Guardia - Ihr Experte für Schädlinge und Pflanzen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
