Fun Ladybug Project to Protect Garden~

Arrived today! Very easy to handle from the airy boxed container full of relevant information. Most the ladybugs were happy & healthy and eager to be freed. Posted six photos from opening box to releasing them in our garden to the last ones that didn't make it. The instructions are simple, just release early morning or in the cool of the evening. Ready to see some action, so there is no more loss to my squash or tomato plants.

Ladybugs, ladybugs, fly to my home!

Wonderful ladybugs! And not the invasive kind either. I ordered these because my indoor plants were being overrun with spider mites. The ladybugs gobbled them up and cleared up that problem! My plants were *much* happier. When the ladybugs were done clearing up the spider mites, they migrated outside on their own. I was a little worried (because I just released the entire bag at once) that I would have a house full of ladybugs flying everywhere... but I never even noticed them other than the occasional one crawling here or there. I have two cats who were thrilled to have ladybugs to chase around the house though! It was *really* hot the couple days of my order and when they arrived... possibly for that reason, about a third of my ladybugs were dead on arrival. Very, crispy critter, dead on arrival. I understand a few dead is going to be unavoidable, but that seemed excessive... so I contacted the company and they were very apologetic. They responded to me email-through-amazon within two hours, and issued a replacement shipment of ladybugs to me that shipped out the very next morning. I got the lady bugs a couple days later and these were all alive, with the exception of couple that did not make it. And a couple out of 150 is really good. I was very impressed with their customer service, and the ladybugs! The ladybugs were shipped in a mesh bag, which was itself in a box with a bunch of large holes in it to provide air while still protecting the bag (and ladybugs) from being crushed. I thought that was nicely done, I can't imagine that shipping live bugs is easy!

One of my best purchases ever!

This was so much fun! Some of our indoor houseplants had bug problems, so we bought Ladybugs to combat them. My fiancee and I turned all 150 loose in our apartment a few nights ago. It was amazing fun to watch them explore. It's been a few days now and I suspect we only have a dozen or so still in the apartment, but they seem to like our plants and hopefully that means they are eating the bad bugs. Even if they aren't, the sheer joy of setting loose that many Ladybugs was well worth the price of admission. This would be a wonderful activity to do with kids. We're definitely going to buy more, just for the fun of setting them loose.

Rapid Delivery of All Vigorously Alive Ladybugs

All of the lady bugs were alive and moving about rapidly. I was glad it seemed they hadn't suffered in trasport. But it was in fall, so coolish out of doors, that may have helped. Please note if you have an ant problem on your plants, take care of that first, because the ants will completely chase your lady bugs away. I used them in a greenhouse for mealybugs, however the minute I shook the lady bugs out of their mesh bag onto the plants, the ants ran to them and grabbed onto their legs as the lady bugs tried to run away. In only one day all of the lady bugs had flown out of the vents and there was not even one in the greenhouse.While the ants we have don't eat or hurt the lady bugs, the ants are such a bother that the lady bugs won't put up with it.

Ate my thrips.

They arrived alive and well. I had thrips in my garden and these guys got to work and brought the thrip population down enough that they were no longer damaging my garden. Make sure you release them at night, and half of them may die within a day or two but they should be fine. Mine were mating within a few days, which is a good sign they have established themselves. Well worth the money.

It was fun letting these little guys go and watching them crawl ...

Arrived alive and intact. Was able to keep in the fridge for a few days (as per instructions, they'll keep up to 2 weeks in hibernation in your home fridge - who knew!). Unfortunately the plant I was trying to save from aphids died before these arrived, my fault. Oh well. It was fun letting these little guys go and watching them crawl all over my deck like little spazz buckets. They didn't know how to deal with all the space at first but then they got the hang of it and flew off to freedom. Released in the evening, also as per the instructions. Fly away home, little ladybugs...

Aphids bye bye

I used these first on some pepper plants i have on my window sill. They were badly infested with aphids. I put a mosquito net over the plants to keep the bugs in. I released a dozen ladybugs under the net. Within a couple days all the aphids were gone. I kept the rest of the bugs in my fridge. Two months later I had an aphid infestation on peoper plants in my greenhouse. I released about a dozen bugs on them, this time with. No net. Again, with a few days all the aphids were gone. The weather got very cold, and the bugs went into hibernation, mostly huddled in a single nest. When it warmed again they returned to activity. They seem to like to stay on my plants and not wander much. There's nothing left for them to eat, and it's too cold outside to release them. I'm worried they'll starve. A sad end for my helpful friends. But i have more in the fridge in case the need arises.

Mite eating machines

All ladybugs were alive and I received my package a day early. These things really do a good job at suppressing mite populations. If you're using indoors you'll have to be patient with them to establish themselves, it took me two applications of 150 over 2 months for them to get mite numbers down to reasonable levels. I provided them water by spraying leaves and leaving a water dish.

Put 'em in, let 'em work

Lady bugs arrived in Maine in great condition. All bugs were intact and doing ok upon opening the box. I put them on the top shelf in my refrigerator for a little while (remember it's typically colder at the bottom of a fridge) and then introduced them into my growing space around dusk. They immediately got to doing what ladybugs do, and within a day or so I noticed that the early signs of mite troubles had stopped progressing. Note that if you have an intake/exhaust system, you'll want to put up a fine mesh over the ports, as the ladybugs will undoubtedly get sucked through and possibly shredded by any fans. I lost a dozen or so within an hour, as I foolishly failed to do this before putting the bugs in. I ordered 150 bugs for a 4' x 4' x 2' space, and there were more than enough.

Great Ladybugs for your garden

These lady bugs were great. I bought them for my yard. They eat aphids. Every single ladybug was alive when I released them. It is best to release just after dusk so they don't fly away. They are wonderful little creatures and they will protect your rose bushes among other plants. Make sure your lawn has been watered when you release them. They may be thirsty. I have a little waterfall, so they love to hang out. Clearly worth the money.
