If you like the idea of using ‘friendly bugs’ to treat pest problems on your cannabis plants then one method you can try is through hatching some praying mantis. As its name suggests, a praying mantis will gobble up any bugs it comes across and so is great if you have an infestation of aphids, lice, beetles, whiteflies, or spider mites.
This product from Josh’s Frogs contains two eggs, with each egg containing 50 – 200 baby praying mantids. Once received, these eggs will hatch within 3-10 weeks but if you are wanting to delay hatching you can keep them in the fridge and remove a month before you want to hatch. This is a great natural and organic option for outdoor cannabis growers and you will soon be calling the praying mantis your best friend.
