I bought aphid eating wasps. Wonderful to see my houseplants aphid free and healthy. Also my outdoor brassicas flourishing now due to lacewing larvae. Thank you.

Excellent service and products- i used lacewing larvae for a dire infestation of woolly aphids on an olive tree – fantastic results. Likewise ladybird larvae for aphids on chilli plants. Delivery is quick and efficient. Highly Recommended.

Our beautiful espaliered crab apple trees have been blighted by woolly aphid almost since we got them. To my shame I have tried every insecticide and alternative methods including washing up liquid. Nothing has worked and they are not doing well at all. I don’t know why I disnt try a natural method from the start but I’m already sewing a difference a week later – see picture below. I will set up a lacewing chamber now and do everything I can to keep my new friends happy! Thank you!

Hi, My poor fruit trees are riddled with aphids, every year the same issue. Last year I bought lacewing larvae, they worked their magic well.

Struggling to keep on top of whitefly every spring without resorting to chemicals. I discovered Lacewing Larvae and Wow! What a difference! These little creatures arrive in a sturdy tube filled with small bran flakes. Plenty of safe spaces among them to hide in safely as they hatch and grow. A pack of 1000 unseen predators sprinkled generously around the greenhouse and conservatory gradually overcame the first wave of pests, allowing all my plants to get a very good start this year. I applied another 1000 six weeks later and am really amazed at the difference they have all made. Even the vines are looking healthier. No sooty mould, no woolly aphid or yellowing leaves from pest damage and no sticky honeydew patches on the floor either. These things are voracious predators and well worth the expense. They will repay that for me in fresh tomatoes and healthy cuttings alone. Now wondering how many will survive the winter. I haven’t seen any adult lacewing yet so not sure whether they will have laid eggs. Considering an overwintering box, but hoping there are enough crevices for them to survive in without one. Nice to see the ladybirds pupating on some of my plants too. Thanks Green Gardener!

I’m a newbie gardener and had so many bugs, shiny sticky leaves and withering that I wasn’t sure was due to pests or disease. I chose lacewings as they seemed to eat a wider variety of bugs than ladybirds. 500 lacewing larvae and 2 weeks later these are the results. I’d love for you to use them on your website so people can see real life “before/after” results. My lacewings still have some work to do further up the tree but they’re doing well and I hope they continue! If not I will be back for more! Very very pleased! Especially because I plan to harvest the elderflower for cordial so it’s also nice to know it’s pesticide free.

Absolutely remarkable. I hv bought soooo many pesticide sprays but year on year my big problem got worse and worse. I hv a big bush of elderflower in my garden absolute overridden with all sorts of bugs – I think I had the whole plethora… greenfly blackfly mealybugs white fluffy bugs… I got 500 lacewing larvae. I wasn’t even sure there was anything in the pack but sprinkled them over the plant – it’s quite difficult trying to spread the little beans so they stay on sticks (most went on the flower bed I’m sure) but 2 weeks later and it’s completely cleared up! Never again will I be buying any sprays, such a waste of time & money… just spray the plants hard with water then get these…

This is not an enquiry but a thank you and endorsement. I purchased some lacewing larva in spring as we had an infestation of woolly aphids on our beech hedge. They were amazing and within a week we were no longer covered in flying blue aphids and even the stickiness on the leaves went after a short while. Even more amazing was the result of buying some Amblyseius Andersonii for my Damson tree. It was covered in black sooty substance and looking very sad. Not only did this clear completely , it left a healthy tree that was used as a nursery tree for ladybirds with all stages of their life cycle on the tree at the same time – I have never seen so many ladybirds and it is only a small 2 year old minarette.
Thank you for your excellent products

I have purchased a lacewing hibernation chamber from you which I am very pleased with. The lacewing larvae I purchased made short work of the blackfly breaking out across the allotment and were excellent workers!

All ladybirds arrived promptly and on time. They were all alive and the instructions given were really detailed. Thank you
