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

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.

I had a lot of these hatching, so can confirm they are viable. I will say afterward I have no idea where they went and could not find them when looking. The aphids are mysteriously disappearing though. I had one of the cards near a pot of flowers that had a lot of aphids and the ants were there too. The ants were attacking those green lacewing eggs. So, don't put in an area with a bunch of ants.

I have spider mites and mealey bugs on my houseplants, so decided to try lacewings instead of pesticides. It didn't work. I did everything as directed, but not a lacewing in sight. Only around 1/8 of the eggs hatched. I sprayed a little water on each plant everyday for the lacewing larvae to drink. I saw them around everyday for about 2 weeks, then they disappeared. I thought maybe they were cocooning, but saw no evidence of this. I saw a larvae about a week or so later, but that was the last time. I know it's not because they didn't have anything to eat because I see spider mites having parties on my plants. I spent $50 on this and nothing to show for it except more spider mite infestations. Very unsatisfied. I thought Nature's Good Guys was supposed to be the best.

Didn’t Notice Much of a Difference Unfortunately, I didn’t see much of a change after adding this product to our garden. I had high hopes based on the description and reviews, but it didn’t seem to make a noticeable impact on plant growth or overall health. It may work better in different conditions, but for our space, the results just weren’t there.

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 :)

Shipping was quick and they hatched within a week. However, I didn't really notice a change in the whiteflies I bought them to devour.

Item arrived as described.

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!!
