Comments about Beneficial Bugs Garden Pack:

I love this! We had a pretty bad Colorado Potato Beetle infestation. I did have to use some organic pesticide about two weeks before the beneficial bugs arrived. It was pretty easy to follow the directions for releasing the bugs. I haven't had any problems since and every now and then run into a lady bug while picking produce from the garden.
The only con I want to mention is that the bugs aren't available sepeartley. You're stuck buying the whole package and it is a little on the expensive side, imo.

    Had to hold off because of temperature, than it was too much rain. I don't think the lady bugs had a chance and I think the lacewings were eaten up.

          Comments about Beneficial Bugs Garden Pack:

          We followed the instructions perfectly and mostley all the lady bugs dies within the next day, we have no idea if the nematoads lived or worked because they are to small to see. The eggs of the third bug we couldnt even find in the saw dust stuff, nothing looked like an egg at all. It was such a waste of our money, that in todays economy is rediculous!!!!!!!!! we will NEVER purchase this product again.

            Comments about Beneficial Bugs Garden Pack:

            The bugs arrived in early May to my home in Miami. I saved them for only a couple of days, in the fridge, like the instructions indicated. The ladybugs are the most lively and as I placed them out in the garden about half flew away, but the others were already dead. It has been about 3 weeks since I scattered them and I'm not sure if I see any more lady bugs than I did before. If I were going to use this again, I would certainly have thought about how to attract lady bugs to my garden before buying the lady bugs themselves. The number of dead lady bugs was the most disappointing and the reason that I give the product only 2 stars. Also, I have not seen a single lacewig and since they came in eggs, I'm not sure whether they ever hatched at all. Overall, if I place beneficial bugs in my garden again, I will try to use a local supplier.

                  These bugs are great for the garden. Green Lacewings must be released immediately because they are already active within the shipping container.
