Pre-Fed Live Ladybugs for Aphid Control | Hippodamia Convergens | Mesh Bag (301)

Received in three days, and the ladybugs were all alive!

Happy with my order.

I got these ladybugs for my whitefly infested hibiscus. They seemed to generally hang around and eat up the whiteflies, but the infestation persisted - albeit in a much more quiescent state. Once I really gave the shrub a good springtime pruning back, it opened things up and the whiteflies faded fast. I think exposing all the leaves so they get more sun all around really helped at least as much as the lady bugs, but I had a terrible infestation and probably should have just given up. Nevertheless, I used them as directed and I think they may have saved my (precious- to me) hibiscus. The plant really looked a lot better once the ladybugs took up residence, I can say that for sure. They had plenty to eat, and I could tell a lot of them didn't just fly off, and I could see them grabbing onto the nodes and leaves of the hibiscus.

Arrived early, they look healthy, and so pleased..! Thank you.

I buy ladybugs every single year because I have quite a few rose bushes and I don’t love using pesticides on the aphids. These ladybugs were delivered in a timely manner and were brought in quickly and stored in the recommended manner until they could be released. The four star review is because no matter what you’re always going to have dead ladybugs but I did notice more this year than in prior years. Now, I can’t definitely attribute that to the supplier or the shipper so I’m going to give the supplier the benefit of the doubt and assume the bugs were stressed in shipping. I would have preferred more arrived alive, but the ones that did make it seemed healthy, granted I’m not a bug scientist, just a gardener, but my aphid problem was gone within a few days. All in all I will probably use a different seller in the future, one that I’ve used before with better results, but as I stated before my issue could be due to the shipper so I don’t want to bad mouth this seller.

The package arrived quickly with so many live ladybugs! The aphids had arrived a few weeks back and I wanted to try ladybugs before chemical pesticides. Within minutes after releasing at the bottom of the bed (as directed), several ladybugs were already feasting on the aphids at the tops of the plants! We ordered 3000, based on the size of our garden and yard (10 raised beds).

I bought 1500 ladybugs as I have a pretty bad white fly problem in my garden.I may have received 100 alive. Almost all of them were dead in the bottom of the bag.

Lady bugs arrived alive and faster than expected! They quickly covered my greenhouse and I saw a few aphids get eaten within 5 minutes of opening it. All around very satisfied.
