Natural Lacewing Eggs offer a chemical-free approach to controlling aphids and other soft‑bodied pests. Each egg hatches into a lacewing larva, the aphid lion, that actively hunts for 2–4 weeks, targeting aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and more, while avoiding harm to pollinators, plants, and beneficial soil life. Eggs hatch gradually over 2–7 days (temperature dependent), delivering a sustained predatory pressure without sprays or residue. This approach is compatible with organic and no‑till systems and scales from small indoor grows to greenhouses and orchards as preventive protection or post‑spray follow‑up. 📋 Product summary: Eggs hatch into lacewing larvae (aphid lions) that hunt aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and more for 2–4 weeks. Targeted pests include Aphids (all life stages); Mealybugs (crawlers/early nymphs); Thrips (larvae/adults); Spider mites; Whiteflies (eggs/nymphs/adults); Other soft-bodied insects. Eggs hatch in 2–7 days; larvae begin feeding immediately for 2–4 weeks before pupation. Format options: eggs in rice hulls with hanging release boxes; eggs on cards. Use rates: Preventative 1 egg per sq ft monthly; Active infestations 1 egg per 3 sq ft weekly; Large-scale 5,000–10,000 eggs per acre. Benefits: Chemical-free pest suppression; no residue; IPM-compatible; safe for pollinators, pets, and plants; stacks with cucumeris, 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. Pro tips: Introduce early; avoid pesticides 7 days before/after release; keep 60–95°F and moderate humidity; add Good Bug Diet if pest levels are low; follow-up well with other beneficials.
