1,500 Ladybugs + 1,000 Green Lacewings + 5M Nematodes + 1/4lb Good Bug Diet

Full-scale, natural pest control for bigger gardens, farms, and serious infestations. Provides coverage for pests above ground and below the soil, plus everything you need to keep your good bugs around for the long haul.

Target Pests

Aphids, small caterpillars, whiteflies, spider mites, scale, thrips, mealybugs, and other soft-bodied pests. Nematodes will target fleas, fungus gnats, codling moths, webworms, ticks, fruit flies, cucumber beetles, ants, grubs, and 200+ other soil-dwelling pests.

Product Description

Ladybugs: The classic general predator. These native, pre-fed ladybugs go straight to work hunting down bad bugs the moment they're released indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. 

Green Lacewings: Nicknamed the "Aphid Exterminator." Their larvae hunt and feed on soft-bodied pests for 2-4 weeks before maturing into adults, with eggs hatching in 7-14 days.

Beneficial Nematodes: 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 Diet: A food supplement packed with fats, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids to keep your ladybugs, lacewings, and other beneficial insects fed and sticking around, even when pest levels dip.

Pro Tips

  • Keep ants under control. They'll eat lacewing eggs before they ever get the chance to hatch.
  • 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.
  • Pair with our Beneficial Insect Netting to keep ladybugs contained around houseplants and potted plants.
  • Best used immediately upon arrival. If you need to hold off:
    • Ladybugs: 36–45°F, up to 14 days
    • Green Lacewings: 39–46°F, up to 48 hours
    • Nematodes: 36–45°F, up to 14 days, stored in a dark place. Once activated, release within 6 hours.
    • Good Bug Diet: Store in a cool dry place, up to 1 year.
