Miglyphus (Diglyphus isaea) — Targeted Leaf Miner Control
Miglyphus bottles contain active life stages of Diglyphus isaea, a specialist parasitoid for controlling leaf miner larvae. Miglyphus flies to locates leaf miner larvae and combines two strategies for control: adults pierce and feed on the larva’s fluids for nutrition (host feeding), while females lay eggs beside the killed larva so developing wasps can consume the host remains (parasitism). Miglyphus is chemical-free and safe for use in any growing environment including greenhouses, nurseries, orchards, flower beds, interiorscapes, outdoor landscapes, indoor plants including houseplants and more.
Immediate Action
Adult females kill larvae and feed for rapid control
Combines host feeding with parasitism for layered impact
Targets leaf miner hotspots for efficient population reduction
Miglyphus Targets
Leaf miner larvae (Liriomyza spp. and related species)
How It Works
Mode of Action: Adult females pierce and kill leaf miner larvae and lay eggs adjacent to the host
Behavior: Larvae develop into parasitic wasps inside the leaf, feeding on host remains
Visual Effect: Tunnels shorten and contain dead larvae; pest pressure declines as parasitoids establish
Application Method: Release wasps between crop leaves in the morning or evening, focusing on hotspots
Feeding & Parasitism Rates
Adults kill multiple larvae daily through host feeding
Each female lays 50–100 eggs during its lifespan
Host feeding and parasitism combined deliver rapid population control
Best Working Conditions
Temperature: Active from 59°F to 77°F; optimal range 68–75°F
Humidity: Moderate to high

Frequently Asked Questions
Long-term storage, i.e. more than 48 hours, is not recommended. Apply promptly after receipt. Our products are shipped fresh for immediate use to ensure maximum performance. If needed, keep in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 1–2 days; longer holding reduces effectiveness and quality.
Look for shortened tunnels containing dead larvae and reduced leaf miner activity.
