Cryptobug Featured on PBS!

Nov 18, 2025

We’re thrilled to share some big news: Our Cryptobug adults and Cryptobug L (larvae) were spotlighted in the PBS Deep Look episode:
“Save The Grapes! Enter The Mealybug Destroyer!”

The mealybug destroyer (Cryptolaemus montrouzieri) is celebrated as the grape industry’s go-to solution for mealybug pressure. This feature shows how Cryptobug protects vineyards from damaging mealybugs—keeping grape production strong and sustainable.

But Cryptobug doesn’t stop at grapes. These predators thrive in many environments, including citrus trees, ornamentals, and greenhouse crops, making them a versatile cornerstone of any Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
