Product Description

Ephestia Eggs for Beneficial Insects | NUTRIforce™ Support

Premium Ephestia Eggs for Beneficial Insects

NUTRIforce™ delivers premium-quality Ephestia eggs for beneficial insects, providing a vital supplemental food source to support sustainable biological pest control. These Mediterranean flour moth eggs are ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, especially when pest levels are low and predators need ongoing support.

How These Eggs Enhance Predator Performance

Sourced from Ephestia kuehniella, the Mediterranean flour moth, these nutrient-rich eggs offer optimal sustenance for beneficial predators such as Orius insidiosus, Chrysoperla rufilabris (green lacewing larvae), and Dicyphus hesperus. Well-fed predators are more active, reproduce more reliably, and persist longer in crops, greenhouses, and interior landscapes.

Maintain Thriving Predator Populations Year-Round

Incorporating high-value nutrition like Ephestia eggs into your IPM program improves biological control success. Supplemental prey items help sustain predator populations through pest lulls, ensuring quick response when infestations reappear. This proactive approach strengthens the entire pest management cycle.

Flexible Application Options

NUTRIforce™ is available in two user-friendly formats:

  • Cards – Hang easily in crop areas, subdividable, and freezable for convenience.
  • Loose Eggs – Sprinkle directly on plants or combine with ORIUSforce™ applications.

Recommended Rates:

  • Cards: 2–5 units per acre as needed
  • Loose Eggs: 8–10 grams per acre

Backed by Proven Quality and Trusted Results

Manufactured by Beneficial Insectary, NUTRIforce™ is tested for consistency and reliability. These eggs offer dependable nutrition for beneficial insect longevity and effectiveness.

Release instructions for the Release And Use Of NUTRIforce

NUTRIforce™ (Ephestia eggs) supports the establishment and effectiveness of beneficial predators like Orius insidiosus and green lacewings. For optimal results, use the included Ephestia eggs on cards, which can be stored in the freezer until deployment. Break cards into smaller units and evenly distribute them throughout the growing area, focusing on thrips-prone zones. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight and overhead irrigation when placing cards.

While the card method is recommended, loose Ephestia eggs may also be broadcast directly or mixed into the carrier material of ORIUSforce™ before release.


For best results, apply NUTRIforce early in the crop cycle to support predator establishment and boost natural pest control.
ISSUES TO BE AWARE OF:

The larvae that will be emerging are very tiny and hard to see. If the larvae are not released immediately upon hatch, they will cannibalize each other. If you are not able to monitor for hatch, it is best to release eggs immediately upon receipt.
IMPORTANT:

Report any and all suspected problems such as dead or less-than-healthy organisms within 24 hours after receipt of shipment.
Do not, under any circumstances, release or discard suspect organisms until you have received instructions to do so.

You may be asked to return the shipment for further analysis.
