Beneficial Bugs

Comments about Beneficial Bugs:

I liked that the mantis came as eggs in a natural cocoon (?) with detailed instructions on how to nurture them to maturity and the result was healthy mantises effective in my organic garden as preditors of unwelcome insects.

Comments about Beneficial Bugs:

Very impressed. All alive and very eager to get out.

Several years ago I bought these insects and was very happy with the results, but we moved to a new piece of property and I found I needed more ladybugs. With so much that is of poor quality being sold and produced these days, I hesitated to buy them again. I did take the chance and am completely satisfied with the shipment. The package came quickly; there wasn't a single dead bug in the package; it couldn't be simpler to "apply" them; and they stayed here rather than flying away. Wonderful!

The ladybugs were used in a "HEROES OF THE GARDEN" booth set up at the county fair. They were used to get the people's attention so that we could give them information about the Master Gardener program. They were a hit! The only problem we had was transferring fifteen hundred ladybugs from a small mesh bag into two large jars. We lost a few but still had plenty! They are thriving in the jars and have completed the life cycle since we have seen immature ladybugs. The ladybug will be used in the elementary schools.

I run a non-profit and we ordered these bugs for a class on insects that was held at our community garden. The kids (and adults!) LOVED it.

I had a aphid problem on the tomatoes in the garden and in a flower bed. Ordered two packs of the ladybugs and arrived in good condition. Spread them in the garden and flowers in the late evening. They hung around for over a month to eat up all the aphids before they moved on. Took care of the problem and couldn't ask for anything more. Was fun to have them all around too. I did have Cilantro & peppers growing which they all seemed to love to hang around. So use that as a tip to encourage them to stick around.

It took a few weeks for them to hatch but once they did you could find them all over garden.

They mass of lady bugs work great at eating all the bugs that love my fruit trees. I have to remember to order them earlier next year, and maybe twice a year.

Comments about Beneficial Bugs:

Ladybugs arrived with just a few dead and I am still finding them in my garden.

It's hard to get those little critters out of their bag. They were crawling but sometimes didn't want to crawl out and away. I finally did get them out obviously,but with difficulty. Actually at times it was funny. They were not going to go out anytime soon.
