Pests, Diseases & DisordersWhy might tiny wasps around mango scale colonies be helpful?
Some small wasps parasitize scale insects, so their presence can indicate natural control rather than another pest outbreak. Photograph the colony and ask for help interpreting exit holes or other evidence of parasitism. Check whether living scale numbers and fresh damage are increasing before intervening. A spray decision that ignores the colony's natural enemies can remove useful control while treating insects that were already declining.
