When armoured scale insects attack your trees and ornamentals, conventional insecticides often struggle because these pests hide beneath a hard protective shell. Repeated spraying may provide only temporary suppression while increasing the risk of pesticide resistance.
Chilocorus circumdatus changes the story.
These beneficial ladybird beetles actively hunt and consume armoured scale insects throughout their life cycle, providing an environmentally responsible and sustainable solution for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Adults immediately begin feeding after release, while their larvae continue the work by searching hidden colonies, helping establish ongoing biological control.
Ideal for commercial growers, nurseries, orchards and home gardeners, Chilocorus offers a smarter alternative that works with nature instead of against it.
Unlike conventional insecticides that may require repeated applications, beneficial insects reproduce naturally under favourable conditions, creating multiple generations of natural predators and reducing future pest pressure.
✅ Controls armoured scale insects naturally
✅ Reduces reliance on chemical insecticides
✅ Safe for beneficial insects when used within IPM
✅ Helps manage pesticide-resistant scale populations
✅ Long-term biological control through reproduction
✅ Suitable for commercial and home gardens
✅ No chemical residues on produce
✅ Supports sustainable agriculture
Adult Chilocorus ladybirds are released directly onto plants infested with armoured scale.
They immediately begin feeding on scale insects.
Female beetles lay eggs beneath scale covers.
After hatching, the larvae become highly active predators, consuming large numbers of scale insects before pupating and emerging as the next generation of adults.
Under favourable temperatures (around 28°C), the complete life cycle takes approximately one month, allowing continuous pest suppression.
A live beneficial predatory ladybird beetle (Chilocorus circumdatus) supplied as 50 adult beetles for biological control of armoured scale insects.
Chemical sprays often struggle against scale insects because of their protective waxy covering.
Chilocorus naturally locates, attacks and consumes these pests while helping establish long-term biological control and reducing chemical dependence.
