How to Attract or Encourage:

  • First off, make sure that you do not use any pesticides in your garden! This can harm your beneficials as well as your pests.
  • Attract predatory wasps by black-eyed Susan, caraway, clover, cosmos, dill, fennel, lavender, lemon balm, parsley, Queen Anne’s lace, sunflower, sweet alyssum, tansy, and yarrow.
  • Trichogramma wasp eggs can be purchased on Amazon. Release about 1 per 1 square foot of garden space.
