Indoor Garden Pack

1,000 Green Lacewings + 25 A. cucumeris Sachets + 25 A. swirskii Sachets + 5M Triple Blend Nematodes, + 5 Tabs Good Bug Supplemental Food

A full defense system built for indoor growing covering pests above the soil, on the leaves, and hiding below it.

Target Pests

Aphids, thrips, whiteflies, spider mites (and other mite species), scale, mealybugs, small caterpillars, fungus gnats, fleas, cucumber beetles, grubs, and 200+ other soil-dwelling pests.

Product Description

Green Lacewings (Chrysoperla rufilabris): Nicknamed the "Aphid Exterminator." Their larvae (tiny alligator-like hunters) feed nonstop on soft-bodied pests for 2-4 weeks before maturing into adults, with each female laying up to 200 eggs to keep the cycle going.

Amblyseius cucumeris: A budget-friendly, preventative predatory mite that thrives in cooler temps. Great for getting ahead of thrips and mite issues early in the season.

Amblyseius swirskii: Another affordable generalist, with a faster reproductive cycle than cucumeris and a preference for warmer conditions. Targets thrips, whiteflies, and various mites.

Triple Blend Nematodes: Steinernema carpocapsae (Sc), Steinernema feltiae (Sf), and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Hb). Microscopic, soil-dwelling worms that hunt down pests in their young, vulnerable stages (larvae, grubs, nymphs, pupae) before they ever reach adulthood. An easy-dissolve powder makes them simple to apply and effective across a range of conditions.

Good Bug Food Tabs: A supplemental food source to place when pest levels are low, keeping your predatory mites around and ready in case pests make a comeback.

Rates are general guidelines. Actual needs vary by pest species, plant, and infestation level. Monitor both pests and released insects to gauge success.

Application

Green Lacewings: Hang the included egg box directly on affected plants, out of direct sunlight.

Predatory Mite Sachets (A. cucumeris & A. swirskii): Hang sachets on plant stems or foliage near pest activity; mites emerge gradually over several weeks for continuous protection.

Nematodes: Mix with water and apply to moist soil. Avoid overly dry or waterlogged conditions so nematodes can move freely and survive.

Good Bug Food Tabs: Place near predatory mite populations to sustain them during low-pest periods.

Pro Tips

  • Keep soil moisture balanced when applying nematodes. Too dry and they can't move, too wet and they can wash away or drown.
  • Skip broad-spectrum pesticides; they can harm your new pest patrol along with the bad bugs.
  • Early introduction is key. The sooner these predators move in, the faster they get ahead of an outbreak.
  • Best used immediately upon arrival for all components.
