Superb quality!

Not a single dead bug, they don't stick around very long but I already knew that, they have wings they're going to fly off at some point, still they munch down tons of aphids and other pests while they're here and might even leave some eggs, I wouldn't order live bugs from anyone but these guys, I've gotten a few shipments and each time have been super pleased, release them at dusk and they'll spend the night ridding your garden of unwanted guests, I always release all mine at once, I just can't see releasing some and not others, to me seems cruel, but it is recommended to release 50 a day for small gardens, I release all 300 then I'll just order more in a few weeks and more if I need it, the whole process is very fun for me and I love to go out at night with a flashlight and watch these girls chowing down, next order I plan on letting my 2 year old daughter in on the fun, can't wait

I had a pretty bad aphid problem on my cucumbers so I ordered ...

I had a pretty bad aphid problem on my cucumbers so I ordered 300 ladybugs from this seller. Package arrived within 3 days of order, as guaranteed all alive. As these little buggers were sitting in my mailbox for a few hours, I spritzed some water on them for refreshment. After a few hours of letting them unwind and refresh, I set them loose under my cucumber trellis. They immediately began setting about the business of surveying their surroundings. I returned about an hour later, right before last light and observed something unusual. There were dried husks and pieces of aphids everywhere. I observed several ladybugs had set up what appeared to be an altar of worship to some sort of dark god, and were actively gnawing off aphid heads and placing them on the altar, shortly thereafter devouring the rest of the corpse. On other leaves previously infested by aphids, I observed strange marks, too small to be seen clearly by the human eye. Returning with a magnifying glass, I saw what appeared to be written in aphid hemolymph the words "HELP IS NOT COMING" and "NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SAVE US". Overall 10/10 will definitely be buying again. Excellent customer service and prompt delivery a large plus. Highly recommended.

Perfect for Killing Aphids on Rose Bushes

The ladybugs I ordered came very nicely packaged so that they would not be harmed in transit. They were all alive and in the adult stage ready to kill the aphids attacking my rose bushes. I followed the instructions on the packaging and kept them in my refrigerator until the next day at dawn. If I had put them on my rose bush in the heat of the day, they could have all flown away. Instead i waited and sprayed my rose bush with a fine mist of water and then let the ladybugs get to work. They drank and feasted on the aphids. I am very happy and will be buying more for my garden area.

OH MY GOD THEY ARE EVERYWHERE

Word to the wise, you better have a damn good enclosure if you plan on releasing them inside a building. I had aphids on my pepper plant and I live in a 5th floor apartment. I made a clear plastic cage for them and let me tell ya, those suckers like to explore. My roomate said they were in the shower the next morning. They ate the crap out of the aphids and I promptly released them into the wild. The amount that were dead after the first day was less than ten. All 300 were alive when I opened the package up. In addition to many of them eating up all of my bugs, several decided to get very comfortable on the leaves. I know when I like to get busy I go to the bedroom, but these ladybugs didn't care who was watching. Must have been the adrenaline of being suddenly released that they just had to have a moment of passion.

such a joy!

Fast delivery and considerate packaging. The tiny backyard employees arrived alive. It took me a while to count them. Four missing, two extremely nervous, at least ten with suicidal tendencies (found them in the pool a few minutes after the big release – heartwarming btw!!). I had to watch my steps for the rest of the day, for fear that I might crush one. I gave them a few days off… busy taking care of their W4s and I9s now.

Ladybug Central- Awesome Purchase!

This was an awesome purchase! Super affordable, they were shipped quickly and all of them were alive when opened. Recently my plants became infested with spider mites, gnats and aphids. I have close to 30 plants in my second bedroom and didn't want to risk putting them outside just for the ladybugs to fly away, essentially purchasing them to free. We bought a roll of screen from Home Depot for $14 and covered up the vents, closet doors and the main door into the bedroom, then put a slit in the ladybug pouch and released them before closing the main screen. All of the ladybugs were alive when released and came early- just 3 days after purchasing them. We left them in the bedroom for 2 days as they devoured the infestation of spider mites, aphids and gnats. After the first day a lot of the ladybugs had died. Today is day 4 and I would say I'm very pleased. There's maybe 20 ladybugs left. Almost all of the bugs infesting my plants are gone and none of the ladybugs have gotten into any other part of our home. It was a 4 step war for us to be rid of the pests, though! (Aphids, gnats, spider mites) on top of the ladybugs eating everything they could, we purchased Hafer sticky traps to attract and kill any moths or gnats that the ladybugs didn't get, mosquito bits (which kill gnats, too) to sprinkle on the soil and kill and larvae that's already hatched, and mosquito dunks, added to the watering can and watered our plants with to kill any of the eggs that were in the soil. Getting all of these things together is essential if you're trying to get rid of an infestation. Since most of the ladybugs die within a day or so it's better to get more so you know the job gets done. Besides that, we have less than 20 ladybugs in our second bedroom and I think it's really nice to have a tiny bit of nature inside my house, knowing they won't eat anything I don't want them to. Hopefully this helps you guys!

They're alive!! :)

I opened the package and definitely saw some activity in the mesh bag. I immediately put them in the refrigerator to save them for later release. Since I'm doing a container garden, I deliberately ordered more than I thought I'd need so I could choose standard shipping. The bugs came with an insert describing how to best release them and the kind of environment that's likely to keep them in my "garden." There was also a picture showing the life-stages of ladybugs. That's helpful because the larval stage doesn't really look like a ladybug so I might fear they were bad bugs and remove them. I released the lady bugs according to the package suggestions and tried to make my deck ladybug friendly. I bought 300 and only 2 were dead. I sprinkled them on my tomato plants and on the flowers I bought specifically for the lady bugs. As far I know, they stayed on my plants all night but in the morning I saw several flying away. I don't really see any lady bugs on my plants now but I think the aphids are gone so, that works for me. Plus, I think many of them are living in the trees just beyond my deck so hopefully they'll fly over from time to time looking for a meal.

... January for some indoor plants that were having a pretty serious aphid problem

I ordered these in January for some indoor plants that were having a pretty serious aphid problem. I just couldn’t get them under control. As luck would have it, the temperatures in Ohio decide to drop to -20 the day these are delivered to my metal mailbox. They were in there for about 5 hours before I was able to get them inside. I thought they were goners and looked frozen and dead. I let them sit after reading a recommendation to put them in the fridge. They warmed up and almost all of them were still alive. I’m amazed and will be back!

These Ladybugs do their Job!!!

The package arrived within 4 days of shipment notification. It took about a week total from the time I placed the order. All but maybe 10 or 15 of the 300 ladybugs arrived alive and well. They were all very active in their packaging. I kept them in the fridge for a couple days waiting for the temperature to warm up and then released them at dusk per the instructions on the package insert. The ladybugs went to work immediately!! I'd had an aphid infestation on my pepper plants for months and after one week they eradicated them almost completely. Unfortunately, after all the aphids were gone, so were my ladybugs. I'm going to order them again, but this time, I'm going to buy the ladybug nectar for them to feed on between aphid life cycles so the ladies stick around for the long haul this spring. If you have a small garden or only a few potted plants as I do, this would be my only suggestion. I highly recommend this product from this seller. Good luck, and may your gardens grow good and plenty!!

Lively...cool...and a little creepy

The packaged arrived as promised. Due to the cold weather I chose two-day shipping. They were active as soon as I opened the box and it seems like there were few, if any, fatalities. I made a temporary home from a plastic bakery container with a wet paper towel and a few rehydrated raisins. I cut the corner off the mesh bag and within an hour half of them were out of the bag. Most of them took a drink first then went exploring. Several are playing King of the Hill on the corner of the paper towel. Then they found the raisins, but some were content with the bits of frosting on the underside of the lid. Since I'm using them indoors I spritzed the plants and released a few right away. They seem to be getting the lay of the land, even crawling *over* the aphids but hopefully they'll settle in and start munching. Probably my fault for spoiling their dinner with frosting. Some are trying to squeeze under the lid so I put the whole thing in a giant Ziploc bag until I can make a better home. I'm thinking a quart canning jar with a sprouting lid. Hopefully a night in the fridge will slow them down so I can transfer them-these babies are quick. So far, I'm very pleased. They're fun to watch but that many bugs in one place is a little creepy and it'll probably take a bit to get used to sharing the house with them, but the aphids on my potato plants have to go. Yeah, growing potatoes inside, 300+ vegetable seedlings, nematodes in the fridge and now ladybugs. The Better Half is a really good sport.
