750 Pre-Fed Live Ladybugs for Aphid Control | Hippodamia Convergens | Mesh Bag (750)

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.

I was very concerned that with a few days in transit and temperatures in the 90's that these guys wouldn't be alive when they got here. I was amazed that in this package of 1500 I couldn't find a single dead one. When they got here I misted them with a little water and put them in the fridge for a few hours until after sunset. I then sprinkled them around my aphid-infested milkweed plants. This morning many of them were on the plants, hopefully enjoying meals of the aphids. We'll see in the next few days how good a job they do.

I have been troubled for years by an unbelievable number of aphids destroying my crepe myrtle and my vegetable garden. None of the previous remedies I tried worked, so I decided to try releasing ladybugs. I have to say, I'm completely astonished. Just two weeks later, there is not a single aphid in sight! I'm very excited to say the least. The ladybugs were well packaged, and I believe every single one was alive. I highly recommend!

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.

Great bugs

My container peppers were being ravaged by aphids. I tried neem, but it did not do anything. I saw a YouTube video suggesting that ladybugs were a natural cure. Somewhat skeptical, I ordered 750 of them. As hot as it is now, I was afraid that they would arrive baked. But, they came about a week later, and I did not see many dead ones. They were pretty lively. Following the instructions, I put them on the peppers last night, and this morning, the ladybugs were crawling all over the pepper plants. But, guess what I did not see? Aphids! The plants are nearly clean and looking happy.

Shipping was delayed for some reason and barely any were still alive upon arrival.

USPS "lost" my order so when it did show up I wasn't expecting many live ladybugs but I was wrong. I would say 95% were alive! Very helpful seller and responsive to messages.
