After 2 to 3 days look at the vial against a light you be able to see them moving around on the inside. Never wait any more than 7 days after the shipping date to open up the vial and let them go. Take the vial out to where your garden plants and trees are located any time of the day and open it. Move around your orchard or garden. The Trichogramma will fly out and begin looking for their prey. After a few minutes leave the vial in the shade and plant. The rest will fly out within the day or so.

Releasing Loose Lacewing eggs- Aphid Destroyer

  • The most effective way to release the Lacewing eggs is to hatch them.
    Green eggs are fresh and take about 5 days to hatch from the packing date
    Gray eggs, were green and are the eggs that are about to hatch within 2 to 3 days
    White eggs, are those that were gray and have hatched.

When releasing as eggs place the white bags on your plants with paper clips or into the crotch of strong stems. Then mix the Lacewing eggs (that are in the small cup) and the rice hulls (in the bag) together and pour the mixture into the white bags. The eggs will hatch and the larva will begin to hunt down the soft bodied insect and Spider mite pests in your garden.

RELEASING GREEN LACEWING LARVAE & MEDIA MIX
After hatching the larvae are often found on the lid of the container so pop the top and look for them. They will be tiny 1/16” to 1/8” long Alligator shaped like larva. They will grow up to 1/2” long. Release promptly, they will eat each other if you do not. The larvae are often near the top of the container so gently shake the cup to move the eggs and larva around the whole container. 

When releasing the larvae disperse the bran or vermiculite and Green Lacewing larvae mixture onto the foliage and flowers of your plants. Take the container of lacewing larvae and shake it lightly of the tops of your plants or place the mix in the crotch of the fruit trees. You can also attach the white bags to the tree or plant and disperse the mixture in the white bags.
