Power Pair Garden Pack | Aphid Control | 1500 Ladybugs + 1,000 Green Lacewing Larvae

The Power Pair Garden Pack is built for aphid control — effective against green peach aphid, melon/cotton aphid, potato aphid, and most common garden aphid species. As general predators, both components also help with mealybugs, scale crawlers, spider mite eggs, whitefly nymphs, thrips, and small caterpillars, making this a solid all-around pack for gardens with more than one pest problem going on at once.

The Power Pair Garden Pack pairs 1,500 ladybugs with 1,000 green lacewing larvae for fast, well-rounded aphid control. Ladybugs patrol your plants and clear out aphid colonies wherever they find them, while green lacewing larvae — nicknamed "aphid lions" — stay put and feed heavily on whatever's in their immediate reach. Between the two, you get broad coverage and intense, localized control working at the same time.

We ship the larvae stage instead of eggs, so there's no 7–14 day wait for eggs to hatch — your lacewings are ready to eat on arrival or within a day or two of receipt. Because larvae will turn on each other without food close by, they ship separately from the ladybugs and go straight to work on your aphids the moment they're released.

Apply 1 ladybug and 1 green lacewing larva per square foot of affected area.

These are general starting points — actual application should be adjusted based on pest pressure/species, plant type, and infestation severity. For heavier infestations, scale up both components together rather than just one, so the pack stays balanced.

Release in the early morning or evening when it's cool and shaded — this keeps both predators calmer and more likely to stay put. Water your plants lightly beforehand so ladybugs settle in easily and lacewing larvae can move around and find aphids without trouble.

Place ladybugs directly onto leaves near aphid colonies rather than releasing them into open air or onto bare soil. Release lacewing larvae right away after opening the container, setting them directly on infested foliage — the faster they reach aphids, the better, since a delay means they'll start looking at each other for a meal instead.

Hold off on any pesticides, even organic ones, for about two weeks before and after release. For ongoing aphid pressure, additional releases every 1–2 weeks will help keep populations down until things are back under control.
