Lacewing Larvae Against Aphids & Mealybugs – Natural Help from Cardboard Honeycomb

GREEN GUARDIA lacewing larvae in cardboard honeycombs offer a fast, effective, and chemical-free solution for controlling aphids, mealybugs, thrips, and spider mites . It's particularly easy to use: The larvae are shaken out directly onto the infested plants – no preparation or waiting required.

Each honeycomb contains approximately 500 lacewing larvae in various stages of development, which immediately begin targeted pest control after release.

EFFECTS AND BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

  • Extremely voracious larvae – known as “aphid lions”
  • Fast action without chemicals or residues
  • One cardboard honeycomb is sufficient for up to 10 m² in case of acute infestation, and for up to 20 m² as a preventative measure
  • Suitable for houseplants, balconies, raised beds, greenhouses and the garden
  • Also suitable for sensitive plants such as cannabis

HOW TO USE THE CARDBOARD HONEYCOMBS CORRECTLY

  • Apply directly: Carefully shake the honeycomb over the affected plants – as close to the affected areas as possible.
  • Note the temperature: The larvae need at least 12 °C, 18–30 °C is optimal for active development.
  • No chemicals: Avoid using chemical pesticides 6 weeks before and during application.
  • Remove ants: Ants can protect pests such as aphids and should be eliminated beforehand.
  • Duration of effect: The larvae begin hunting pests immediately after shaking out – visible effects often follow within a few days.

  • Garden & Greenhouse: Effective against pests in vegetable and ornamental plant crops
  • Balcony & Terrace: Suitable for potted plants, container cultures and raised beds
  • Cannabis plants: Gentle on the plant – strong against pests

FAQs

Lacewing larvae, also called "aphid lions," are natural predators of aphids, mealybugs, thrips, and other pests. They feed exclusively on these pests and naturally reduce infestations.

The cards each contain over 50 lacewing eggs in various stages of development. The larvae hatch after a few days and immediately begin searching for pests.

Lacewing larvae are suitable for the natural control of aphids, mealybugs, mealybugs, thrips and spider mites.

The hatched larvae are only 1–2 mm in size and often hide on the undersides of leaves. Their activity usually only becomes apparent when the pest population declines.

Depending on temperature and humidity, the larvae hatch within 1 to 5 days and remain active for about 2–4 weeks.

You will receive carrier cards with lacewing eggs that can be hung or laid out directly next to the plant.
