Lacewing Chamber
The Lacewing Chamber provides optimal conditions for overwintering of lacewings. The larvae of the common green lacewing are very effective predators of greenfly and other insect pests. The adults hibernate over winter but their survival is limited by the lack of suitable sites.
How to use a Lacewing Chamber
The chamber should be set up with the louvered front facing away from prevailing wind, on the top of a wooden post or fence (5-6ft off the ground) and secured using the bracket supplied. Place away from trees and buildings, as the silhouette of the chamber should be clearly visible.
As lacewings go into hibernation during September and October, it is preferable to have the Chamber in position by the end of August. Do not open the attractant sachet until it is required. Avoid using chemicals particularly insecticides within the immediate vicinity of the chamber.
During normal winters, the chamber can remain in situ in the garden. If a prolonged cold spell occurs, some additional protection may be needed. Alternatively take the chamber into a cool dry outbuilding until the begining of March.
The straw and attractant should be replaced each year. Do not use straw from an unknown source in case it has bee treated with insecticide.
