How to Attract or Encourage:

  • First off, make sure that you do not use any pesticides in your garden! This can harm your beneficials as well as your pests.
  • Praying Mantis are happiest in grasslands areas. Attract them by having some shallow water nearby and plenty of shrub area for them to feel safe.
  • Praying Mantis eggs can be purchased on Amazon or bought at your local nursery. Set out 1 egg case per 2,000 square feet in your garden.
