Product Overview
PredaLure attracts ladybugs, lacewings and many other beneficial insects that prey on pests in your garden!
PredaLure was developed to help home gardeners and professional growers manage a number of destructive insect pests. PredaLure specifically attracts beneficial predatory insects such as lacewings, lady beetles, flower (hover) flies and many other beneficial insects to the area. Many university and commercial tests have shown that the use of PredaLure will reduce a variety of insect pests. The strong attractant signals beneficial insects that insect prey is available, causing them to find the food source.
