Green Lacewings

Green lacewings are not only beautiful but also incredibly effective allies in natural pest control. As delicate insects, they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. During their larval stage they help by targeting and controlling sap-sucking pests like aphids. While the adults are busy drinking nectar and laying eggs for the next generation of Green Lacewing larvae.

When you introduce green lacewing eggs to your garden, you’re inviting a dynamic predator into your landscape. These eggs hatch within 2-5 days into voracious larvae, each capable of consuming dozens of pests daily. This means they can significantly reduce pest populations, helping to protect your plants without the need for harsh chemicals. Green Lacewings continue to work diligently during the long hot days of summer.

As adults, green lacewings continue to contribute to your garden’s health by laying eggs throughout the gardening season, ensuring a sustainable cycle of pest control. Green Lacewings tend to stay close to the areas they hatch. They may not travel more than 100 feet from there as adults. All while adding beauty to your yard or garden. You can encourage a continuous population with the addition of our Ladybug Nectar, which is a nutritious supplement for many beneficial insects and pollinators alike.

With each order, you’ll receive information and a release instruction sheet to maximize the benefits of these beneficial insects.

Application Rate: 5,000 eggs will treat 1000–2000 sq. ft. For best results, use three applications, two weeks apart. As with any natural pest controls, preemptive application provides the most benefit to the health of your garden.
