Koppert Ervipar is a unique product that's specially made to help control aphids effectively. It contains mummies in buckwheat and it hatches parasitic wasp Aphidius ervi which specifically targets glasshouse potato aphid (Aulacorthum solani), potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), and even tobacco aphid (Myzus persicae var. nicotianae). It works when the female adult parasitic wasp parasitizes the aphid, then after a couple of days, the parasitized aphid will start to swell and turns into a leathery, grey or brown mummy. Inside it, a new parasitic wasp will emerge to lay more eggs and continue the cycle. The initial mummies will be visible in the crop approximately after 2 weeks from introduction. This is ideal to use as soon as aphid infestation begins to develop. It's very easy to use, simply spread mummies with buckwheat on rock wool or DIBOX in small heaps. Make sure it won't be thicker than 2 cm, then leave it there for at least one week.
Koppert Ervipar is available in two sizes:

This product popped up with a wasp elimination search. There is no notation in the description that the Koppert Ervipar is effective to eliminate wasps. Can you explain if it is effective? We have several wasps' nests at our home that are located in gutters, which are very difficult to access.
The Koppert Ervipar (Aphidius ervi pupae) are live parasitic wasps which are natural parasites of aphids. We apologize for any confusion. The listing would have appeared because these are, in fact, live wasps. If you have wasp nests to treat which are up high where they are difficult to reach, then we would recommend applying Tempo 1% Dust using the Dustick Duster, which has extension poles to reach up to 21 feet. Alternatively, you can apply Wasp-X Aerosol in short, 1 second bursts to kill insects on contact and to leave a residual around and/or inside the nest. Wasp-X will spray up to 20 feet.
