The low-cost way to seed aphid lions across your grow early
Lacewing eggs are the economical way to establish green lacewings before pests get out of hand. Each egg hatches into a voracious larva, the aphid lion, that hunts aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and small caterpillars. Because you are buying the egg stage, they cost less than shipped larvae and spread more per dollar, which makes them ideal for early, preventative coverage. Release them the day they arrive, as they will have begun hatching in transit.
Live insects ship on Tuesdays only and arrive Wednesday. Orders must be placed 7 days in advance. Anything ordered by 3pm EST Tuesday ships the following Tuesday by UPS overnight shipping.

Hatch into aphid lions Aphids, mites, more
Each egg hatches into a lacewing larva, nicknamed the aphid lion, that hunts aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and small caterpillars the moment it emerges.
More coverage per dollar
Because you are buying the egg stage rather than shipped larvae, eggs cost less and let you seed more of your grow for the same spend, which suits preventative programs.
Best introduced early
Eggs are the ideal way to establish lacewings before pests build up, getting hunters into the canopy ahead of an outbreak.
Continuous cycle
As the larvae mature into adults, the adults lay more eggs, helping build a self-sustaining lacewing presence when conditions allow.
Release on arrival
The eggs will have begun hatching in transit, so distribute them the same day they arrive to get the young larvae onto your plants fast.
Simple to distribute
Sprinkle the egg carrier evenly over your foliage, or hang the hexcell card in the canopy. There is nothing to mix.
Release the day they arrive, since the eggs begin hatching in transit.
Sprinkle the egg carrier evenly over foliage, or hang the hexcell card in the canopy.
Use early and preventively across the crop.

How lacewing eggs establish your predators
Release on arrival
The eggs begin hatching in transit, so sprinkle them onto your plants or hang the card the same day they arrive.
Distribute over the foliage
Spread the egg carrier evenly across leaves, favoring areas where pests are likely to appear.
Larvae hatch and hunt
The emerging aphid lions immediately search the foliage for aphids, mites, and other soft-bodied prey.
The cycle continues
