1500 Pre-Fed Live Ladybugs for Aphid Control | Hippodamia Convergens | Mesh Bag (1500)

They came well packaged and all of them were alive and well! I released them on my plants in the evening time (making sure to dust my plants bases with diatomaceous earth, cayenne pepper and cinnamon a couple days before the lady bugs arrival to keep ants away) and they went to town! They gobbled up every aphid on my plant, it was incredible! And super satisfying to watch! Will definitely order from this company again and share their info with my garden clubs!

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!

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.

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’ve been buying ladybugs for years now, many from different vendors but I will say this is the first time I’ve ever ordered them and nearly every single one was alive and healthy it’s been about a month and a half and I still have some hanging around. Fingers crossed they have babies 🤞🏻

I use them on my houseplants indoors to kill pests. They’re my friends!

The product came with Lady bugs, but they were gone in a day or 2...fed them with water and they did not help with the aphids at all. There was ample food in the garden for them to consume.
