Customer Reviews
All of the ladybugs arrived alive.
I love the lady bugs. They keep my yard and garden free from all pest that destroy plants , and fruits. When I moved to this location- any plant I planted would have leaves covered solid with afids. Pesticides didn't work, but repeted lady bugs, + a couple years - you can't find an afid in my yard now. I'm pesticide free - every fue years I like to order even though the bugs are established now.
I was so excited to be able to release live ladybugs in our garden this year! They arrived healthy, happy and ready to drink a lot of water (some took a while to wake up, others were ready to go, just need patience). Did a great job - they've all left now but I am excited to get to do this again next year.
I always need ladybugs to eat aphids in my garden AFTER my neighborhood nursery has sold out for the year. Your online store had what I needed, when I needed it. The packaging was very helpful. I let half of the first package go the first night. Then refrigerated the rest to be let go, as needed, over several weeks. I am highly satisfied with my purchase.
