Green Lacewing Eggs

Want to Stop Aphids Without Spraying? Let These Hatch First.

Sprays are short-term. Lacewing eggs are strategy.

If you’re done reapplying oils or watching pests rebound days after treatment, green lacewing eggs offer a better way forward. Each egg hatches into a fast-moving, soft-bodied-pest killer—a lacewing larva, nicknamed the “aphid lion.”

They hunt constantly for 2–4 weeks, targeting aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and more—without harming pollinators, plants, or beneficial soil life.

Green Lacewing Eggs

Chemical-Free Pest Suppression That Builds Over Time

Unlike instant-release larvae, lacewing eggs hatch slowly over several days, delivering a more measured, sustained release of predatory pressure.

That makes them ideal for:

• Preventing outbreaks before they escalate

• Following up after sprays or fast-acting predators

• Scaling from small indoor grows to greenhouses and orchards

What They Treat

Note: Lacewing larvae are generalist predators—they’ll eat just about anything soft-bodied and small enough to catch.

Why Use Lacewing Eggs?

If you’ve been looking for a non-spray option to control aphids or thrips, this is it.

How They Work

1. Eggs hatch in 2–7 days (timing depends on temperature)

2. Larvae begin feeding immediately—injecting digestive enzymes and sucking pests dry

3. Feeding continues for 2–4 weeks before pupation

4. Adults emerge, mate, and lay the next generation of eggs—if pest levels remain

How Many You Need

If you’re unsure, go heavier in high-density zones or areas with pest history.

Choose Your Format

Box Count Guide

• 1K–2.5K eggs = 5 boxes

• 5K = 10 boxes

• 10K = 15 boxes

Pro Tips

• Introduce early—don’t wait for pest explosions

• Avoid pesticides 7 days before and after release

• Keep temperatures between 60–95°F and moderate humidity for best hatch rates

• Add a Good Bug Diet if pest levels are low—gives larvae something to feed on while hunting ramps up

• Works well as a follow-up to lacewing larvae, Orius, or ladybugs

Shipping & Storage

• Ships live with fresh hatch timing

• Store at 50–60°F for up to 14 days

• Do not freeze or overheat

• Use immediately after removing from cold

• Allow up to 7 days for full hatch depending on conditions
