They are a biological alternative to chemical sprays and are harmless to children, pets, and plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eLacewings against aphids: why picking them off by hand is too late\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo one notices a single aphid. The problem is their speed: aphids give birth to live young, and each one is capable of reproducing itself after just a few days. Therefore, what you see is already the second or third generation. On top of that, there is the sticky honeydew on leaves and windowsills, which later attracts dark fungal growth. Mealybugs make it even harder for you: they hide under a waxy layer in leaf axils and at root collars, where sprays hardly reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eWhere the larvae help you best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larvae can be used wherever the plant is located. On the windowsill for houseplants and ornamental plants, in the greenhouse and raised bed, on balconies and terraces in pots and planters, in the garden bed, and in larger crops. They can also be used on sensitive plants like cannabis because they leave nothing behind on the leaf. Two conditions apply everywhere: the larvae become active from 12 °C, and they really get going between 18 and 30 °C. Attention: Where ants guard aphids and harvest the honeydew, they will defend their herd against beneficial insects. So, the ant trail should be removed beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eLacewings against mealybugs: what happens in the cardboard honeycomb\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compartments of the cardboard honeycomb keep around 150 larvae separated so they don't eat each other on the way to you. Because they contain different stages of development, small and large larvae are together in one honeycomb: replenishment comes over several days. On the plant, the larva grabs its prey with sickle-shaped jaws and sucks it dry. Aphids, mealybugs, thrips, spider mites – whatever crawls within reach gets eaten. Using lacewings against mealybugs works precisely because the larvae actively hunt for the pests instead of relying on contact with a chemical agent. Once the prey is gone, the larvae pupate and disappear on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eBuying lacewing larvae: Which quantity fits your infestation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of an acute infestation, one cardboard honeycomb is sufficient for up to 10 m², and for preventative use, up to 20 m². If you want to buy lacewing larvae, it is also worth taking a look at the form: we also offer lacewings as eggs on cards or in bags, and as brown lacewings in tubes. One of the differences is speed. Eggs have to hatch first; in the cardboard honeycomb, there are already larvae ready to feed. For an infestation you can already see today, the honeycomb is the right choice. Live goods are delivered with application instructions; it is best to release the larvae immediately upon receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eWhen are lacewing larvae the right choice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLacewing larvae are the right choice when children, pets, or edible plants are nearby and you don't want any residues left on the leaf. They work best from 12 °C, with an optimal range between 18 and 30 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #305832; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eWhen are lacewing larvae not the right remedy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow 12 °C, the larvae remain sluggish, so their use is not worthwhile in cool winter quarters. If you have used chemical pesticides in the last six weeks, you should wait: the residues will affect the beneficial insects just as much as the pests. As long as ants are guarding the aphids, the larvae won't get far, so the ants must be removed first. And one honeycomb will not clear everything in a single pass. For heavy infestations, a second application after two to three weeks is part of the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e2f1e2; border-left: 4px solid #305832; padding: 16px; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e With GREEN GUARDIA lacewing larvae in the cardboard honeycomb, you can tackle aphids and mealybugs biologically.
