USE: Lady bugs prefer to eat aphids and will devour up to 50 a day, but they will also attack scale, mealy bugs, boil worms, leafhopper, and corn ear worm. They dine only on bugs and do not harm vegetation in any way. RELEASE: Lady bugs should always be released after sundown since they only fly in the daytime. During the night, they will search the area for food and stay as long as there is food for them to eat. The more they eat the more eggs they lay and the more bugs eating larvae you will have. It is best if the area has been recently watered. Ladybugs tend to crawl up and toward light. So release them in small groups at the base of plants and shrubs that have aphids or other bugs, and in the lower part of trees. RECOMMENDATIONS: Ladybugs may be kept in the refrigerator after they are received (35-50 degrees F.) and released as needed. Ladybugs received March through May should not be stored more than 2 to 3 days since their body fat has been depleted. From June on, they may be stored 2 to 3 months. It is normal for there to be several dead Ladybugs in the container, especially those received from March through May. These bugs have reached the end of their life cycle.

They all arrived just fine with an 8 day trip. They are now feasting on some White Flies

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.

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!

These were a gift to my brother-in-law. I did not let them know they were coming. As it was a surprise. But the mailman put it in his mailbox at the community clubhouse. And it sat there for a few days and they died. So much for the gift, he did get the lik house and was happy with it.

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.

The amount of fun it was to open was worth it. The only thing I did not think about was the fact that they didn’t stay on the plant that was infested. I thought surely they would stay near the food source but alas, I don’t see many left. Picture one is from release day and picture two is from the next day. A lot of them died on top of the soil and the rest, well I guess they flew away but I can still count about 30 doing their job, just not on the correct plants. So many got here and we’re alive, I just assumed I’d see them for a longer period of time! They were cute while they lasted and maybe they did do a job of ridding me of my pest problem, that remains to be seen.

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.

Arrived on time.( I got them as soon as they arrived). No bugs dead out of 300. Spritzer bag with water upon arrival. Then followed the easy instructions that were included. Very easy. Will save and order again when needed.
