Natures Good Guys - Green Lacewing Eggs on Hanging Card (2,500 Eggs)

Fast shipping and product came with already hatched larvae. I watched a YouTube video on how to use this product. Simple enough, how I know this works is I took a jewelers loop and looked at the cards. There were lobster looking creepers totally emerging from the eggs! Ewww! I’m using these in a controlled environment indoors with humidity around 60% and temperature at 70f. I have verified that I have thrips, spider mites and aphids. I will update this review in a few weeks. So far so good :) 3 week update: It totally works! It’s been 3 weeks and we have adult green lacewings. Last photo is proof of it and time stamped at 3 weeks and 3 days since release. The week prior to release I held off on any other treatments which made me so nervous. Haven’t used any pesticide sprays since then. All my plants with thrips and spider mites responded great. One thing to note: Definitely do get the right amount suggested for the level of pest management you need. Most of my plants had been treated prior multiple times and due to this fact weren’t considered heavily infested. My purple passion however was the only one with aphids and heavily infested. The lower leaves had improvement after only a week, but the upper leaves are still heavily infested with the aphids. I ended up moving this plant outside. Everything else (I have over 100 plants) is inside still. I think if I wanted to successfully treat that plant with the green lacewings I should have used more than one card on it. With a mild to moderate outbreak I got away with grouping my plants with leaves all touching and placing 2-3 cards within 6-10 plants per area. This worked very well 6 month update: yep still works! Love these guys. They aren’t in your face and you never see them. Out of no where you’ll find one random lacewing hanging out on the wall or something. After a few it disappears again. I really thought I’d have to just throw out my entire collection or something because I do not have it in me to be spraying my plants all the time. I haven’t done much and my plants are all thriving :)

I did not know that Ants would be all over the eggs. I assume they are eating the eggs. I just paid money for ant food…

Unknowable if any eggs hatched. I did not see any of the larvee afterward days of waiting. Tjhis method may work in a controlled test but not in the real world. a waste.

The cards shipped quickly and were carefully packaged to protect the live cargo. I could see that some of the little guys already hatched after I opened the packaging. My greenhouse had been suffering from aphids. I was looking for a natural solution. I tried neem oil with no luck. I also tried organic dish soap with no luck. Now that I have Natures Good Guys in my greenhouse I've seen a considerable reduction in the aphids. the Green Lacewings are continuing to hatch as I type this review. I highly recommend the green lacewings in your garden.

When the package arrived, most of the eggs had hatched and the larvae were eating each other, so there weren't many left. Even though I bought 1,000 eggs and had plenty of pest insects to eat, I never saw a single adult and didn't see a reduction in my pest population. I can't discount the slight possibility that they actually were around, so I'm giving 3 stars.

I had a MASSIVE aphid problem and they were destroying my plants. I ordered 2,500 lacewing eggs and they hatched great*! I have all life stages out there right now, I love watching them grow. Some were hatched on arrival, but no biggie! *I'm only giving four stars because not as many hatched as I had hoped, but still many did and they did the job!

Worked well

I purchased lacewing g eggs from a nursery that came with ladybugs. I released, but not sure if it did anything as I was still having an aphid issue so I decided to purchase lacewing cards (5000 eggs). I'm not sure where I purchased from. I released and again I am not sure if it helped. I then decided to give another try I purchased lacewing egg cards (2500) from Natures Good Guys and low and behold it worked. I finally see the little alligator looking creatures crawling on the cards. It's so exciting to finally have assistance in my garden. It is healthy and thriving. I don't see the little creatures, however I see tge miracle of their work!!
