If you’ve ever wondered what’s munching on your plants, look for these signs. 👀 One of my favorite tiny plant helpers is the lacewing larva. They might not look cute, but they're absolute pest-eating machines and will happily snack on aphids, thrips, mealybugs, spider mites, and other soft-bodied pests. I love using beneficial insects as part of my plant care routine because they do the hard work without spraying every plant. If you decide to give them a try, you can use MOTHERCLUCKER10 when placing your order with @DMV Beneficials 😊 Have you ever used beneficial bugs, or are you still on team insecticidal soap? 🪴🐞 #BeneficialBugs #LacewingLarvae #Houseplants #PlantCare #PlantTok

If your plants look like this, you have spider mites. If your plants look like this, you have thrips. If you see white fuzzy stuff on your plants, you have mealybugs. Do you know what creepy crawly eats all of these plant pests? These are lacewing larvae and they are super hungry for your plant pests. These are my all-time favorite beneficial bugs to order. They take care of more than just thrips and spider mites and mealybugs, they also take care of aphids and so many other plant pests that I can't think of right now. I like buying these little egg cards because they're just super convenient to hang on your plant and forget about them. There's actually already some hatched on these. I don't know if you can see them crawling around. Do you see what I mean by effortless application? These little egg cards just hang on your plants until they all hatch and then you can throw out the egg card. Yes, there are tons of horticultural sprays you can use, neem oil, but for me, personally, I am way too lazy to spray down all 200 of my plants and wipe down their leaves. That is way too time consuming. Beneficial bugs do the work in the background for me. And if you're like me, and you don't like using pesticides in your house because I don't want to expose my kids and my pets to pesticides, then I'm afraid of harming the pollinators on my plants. Beneficial bugs have been the best option that I have found for pest control in my plants. I ordered my bugs from DMV Beneficials. I will throw a discount code for you below in the caption and you can save some money on your bugs.
