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

Review

The package arrived on good shape -
We hung packets in our trees and shrubs- put some food in and let them go
We put the unused in the refrigerator.

To date, we’ve seen no little helpers. Not sure if maybe our temps are too high? We usually have daytime highs in the 90-100 range….
Thanks!
Sheila Gansch

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for giving the green lacewing eggs a try! The hot daytime temperatures you mentioned (90–100°F) can definitely impact how quickly the eggs hatch and how active the larvae are once they emerge. Sometimes it takes a little longer for them to become visible, since the first instar larvae are quite tiny and easy to miss at first.

You did everything right by hanging the packets and refrigerating the extras — that helps a lot. With the heat, you may notice a bit of a delay, but once they start moving, they’ll get right to work.

Great so far

Great so far. This is the third company I’m trying. Karen responds promptly and professionally. I told the prior two companies that delivery could not be on Wednesdays. I told them several times. They delivered each time on a Wednesday. I told Karen once and they were delivered on a different day 👍🏼
