Green Lacewing Eggs

Quiet Hatch. Big Appetite. Reliable Results.

If you’re looking for a long-term, chemical-free way to knock out aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and more—this is it.

Green Lacewing Eggs are a clean, consistent biological control solution that hatch into fierce little predators. Within 2–7 days, each egg becomes a lacewing larva—nicknamed “aphid lions” for good reason. Once they hatch, they feed nonstop for 2–4 weeks, hunting down soft-bodied pests wherever they hide.

Use them as a preventative layer or as part of an active IPM strategy. These eggs perform best in warm, semi-humid environments (60–95°F) and work beautifully in greenhouses, gardens, orchards, and vineyards.

What They Target

• Aphids

• Mealybugs

• Spider mites

• Thrips

• Whiteflies

• Soft-bodied larvae and eggs of many other pests

Why Lacewing Eggs?

• Continuous control. Larvae hatch over time, providing extended suppression.

• Chemical-free. No sprays, no residues, no resistance.

• Multi-environment use. Great for large outdoor spaces or tight indoor grow zones.

• Sustainable option. Builds long-term balance in your pest management system.

How They Work

• Eggs hatch in 2–7 days, depending on temperature

• Larvae immediately begin feeding and will hunt for 2–4 weeks

• Adults follow, laying up to 200 new eggs near future pest zones

• Best performance at 60–95°F, moderate humidity

How Much Do You Need?

• 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, adjusted based on pest monitoring

How to Apply

Choose your format:

• Eggs in rice hulls:

  • Spread into included hanging release boxes

  • Hang boxes near pest activity, out of direct sun

  • Box count:

    • 1K–2.5K = 5 boxes

    • 5K = 10 boxes

    • 10K = 15 boxes

• Eggs on hanging cards:

  • Hang cards directly near pest colonies for pinpoint release

Pro Tips

• Introduce early for best results—don’t wait for pests to explode

• Skip the pesticides before and after release—residue kills eggs and larvae

• Add a protein supplement (like Good Bug Diet) to boost survival and impact

Shipping & Storage

• Use immediately, or store at 50–60°F for up to 14 days
