Chrysoperla carnea – Lacewing Larvae for Mixed Soft-Bodied Pest Pressure
This product makes the most sense when the infestation is broader than just one tidy label. Lacewing larvae actively search foliage and stems for prey, so they work well in mixed situations involving aphids, thrips larvae, whitefly stages, and young mealybug or scale stages.
Details
- Active hunters: the larvae move through the plant as they move through foliage.
- Useful across mixed infestations: especially where several soft-bodied pests overlap.
- Simple distribution: the pouch contents are placed into the three included application boxes and positioned near the problem area.
Useful details
- Apply promptly after arrival.
- Place the application boxes close to the infestation, not in strong heat or direct sun.
- Use more than one box on larger or denser plants.
- Repeat if pest pressure remains high.
What makes it useful
- Best temperature: roughly 20–30 °C, workable from about 15 °C.
- Not a root-pest treatment: not the right option for fungus gnats or soil pests.
- Check residues first: neem, soap sprays, and broad spray products can interfere with survival.
Setup and use
Use it early, while pest pressure is still manageable. Consistent placement and timing matters more than changing products frequently.
Combine with basic hygiene: remove heavily damaged leaves, isolate affected plants, and check neighbouring pots so you treat the full area.
Before you order
- Follow the product instructions for placement and temperature range.
- Avoid spraying oils or soaps on release days unless the supplier confirms compatibility.
- Repeat checks weekly until new damage stops.
