Method of shipment: Green Lacewing are shipped as eggs packed in bran.

Lacewings vs. Whitefly - By H P on Jul 31, 2010
I had a bad whitefly infestation that affected raspberries, mint, and a number of other plants in my yard. Three potted Baptisia plants on my porch were so badly infected that the leaves dried out and dropped off the plants. After treating my yard and plants with Lacewing eggs, the whitefly are virtually undetectable and my Baptisia plants are sending up new shoots and leaves. If the Whiteflies come back, I will definitely get some more lacewings.

Lacewing helpers - By Jean Halsey on Jun 21, 2011
Something had been eating my veggie leaves. After putting out the lacewings, which was a very simple process, the holes in the leaves stopped. I have been using organics for years and have always been satisfied with the products.

Yum, yum---Aphids! - By skegley on Mar 8, 2011
These guys are good eaters! I had a bit of difficulty with the release of the eggs in bran (hard to place the eggs where you want them without getting them wet and stuck together), but much better luck using the hanging packs (a coffee filter with only the egg in it that I placed in the thicket of aphid-infested plants). In both cases, the lacewing larvae made short work of the aphids that were plaguing my plants---the only remaining evidence was their dried-out shells.

Hatched - By Canonsburg3 on Jun 14, 2011
I sprinkled the eggs into the garden as directed but at first I had no way of knowing if they would hatch. A couple of weeks later, on two separate occasions, green lacewings hitched rides on us as we came out of the garden, so we know they hatched! We carefully placed the tiny guys back where they belong. I used these along with the mantids, and have very few "bad" bugs in the garden. Very satisfied.

I received the green lacewing eggs very promptly and my pest problems were soon under control. Great product.

Success!! - By Robert F. on Jul 7, 2011
The Green Lacewings worked wonders in eliminating millions of aphids on our crepe myrtle tree. We've been stumped on how to get rid of the aphids for two years. The chemicals never worked. In fact, they multiplied! We're so greatful we found you and followed your directions. It took 3+ weeks for the larvae to work, but they solved the problem and our tree is beautiful!
