Green Lacewing Larvae for Aphid Control
Green Lacewing Larvae for Aphid Control
Green Lacewing Larvae for Aphid Control uses incubated lacewing eggs timed to hatch after shipping. Once hatched, the larvae hunt immediately, delivering fast, on-contact pest suppression. Known as aphid lions, they feed on soft-bodied pests such as aphids, thrips, and whiteflies with no residue or leaf-wiping required. Safe for food crops and ornamentals.
Packaging includes lacewing eggs in a rice hull carrier, with emerging larvae mixed in. Release on arrival by gently scattering contents across affected plants; leave the container open for late hatchers. Do not refrigerate, soak, or mist, and avoid sprays 7 days before or after release.

Great product and delivery
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
