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.
  • Fireflies typically like to be out in open areas away from populated areas and street lights.
  • Fireflies lay their eggs in water and can be attracted by providing a source for them to lay eggs.
