Green Lacewing Adults for Aphid Control offer a lasting, biologically based solution to garden and greenhouse pests. Each female lays up to 200 eggs directly near aphid, thrips, or whitefly clusters; a few days later those eggs hatch into lacewing larvae that feed nonstop for 2–4 weeks on soft-bodied pests. Adults themselves feed on nectar, pollen, and honeydew, supporting pollination and beneficial insect activity while helping you build spray-free, long-term suppression—a plant-friendly, pollinator-safe, lifecycle-based approach for growers.

This self-replicating biocontrol targets multiple pests over time: aphids (all stages via larvae), thrips (larvae and adults), whiteflies (eggs, nymphs, and adults), mealybugs (crawlers and soft-bodied nymphs), spider mites (opportunistic), and soft-bodied insect eggs where larvae can reach them. Best used in greenhouses, gardens, orchards, and vineyards—especially with recurring aphid pressure or a focus on pollinator safety and sustainability. Release guidance emphasizes releasing immediately on arrival, timing releases for early morning or evening, and avoiding sprays to protect survival and egg laying.

📋 Product summary:

  • Eggs: Up to 200 eggs per female laid near pest clusters; hatch in 2–7 days.
  • Larvae: Feed aggressively for 2–4 weeks on soft-bodied pests.
  • Adults: Feed on nectar, pollen, and honeydew to support beneficial activity and pollination.
  • Lifecycle: Built-in lifecycle that multiplies in the field; long-term, spray-free suppression.
  • Pest targets: Aphids (all stages via larvae); Thrips (larvae/adults); Whiteflies (eggs, nymphs, adults); Mealybugs (crawlers/soft-bodied nymphs); Spider mites (opportunistic); Soft-bodied eggs (where reachable).
  • Use contexts: Greenhouses, gardens, orchards, vineyards; suitable for IPM programs prioritizing biological persistence and pollinator safety.
  • Safety and handling: Zero residue; no sprays; no re-entry interval; release promptly and avoid spraying during stay.
