Ladybugs

Great

None of the nurseries in my area had ladybugs and I was having a massive aphid problem on a few of my rose bushes that insecticides were not solving, so I ordered these. Honestly, I was surprised so many survived (only 3 dead ones)...I live on the Gulf Coast and I figured the heat would have killed a lot of them in transit. They COMPLETELY solved my aphid problem in less than a week.

If you don't see it, did it happen?

So, we had a huge aphid problem on our honeysuckle. I ordered 300 ladybugs, and when they arrived, I watered our vines at dusk, and released the ladybugs per instructions. And then the next day, there were no signs of ladybugs. Couldn't figure it out - there's a freaking aphid buffet here! Why don't we see any ladybugs eating them? And then after a bit, there were two or three little ladybug alligator larvae crawling around on the honeysuckle. And then, no aphids. I don't see any ladybugs now, or larvae. But I also don't see any aphids. So... didn't see the thing happening, but apparently, it happened. No aphids now. Money well spent, and I didn't have to use chemicals. Godspeed, ladybugs, wherever you may be.

What a sweet new experience to order ladybugs!! They are so beautiful and beneficial! Never knew this was an option until very recently. They are a very important addition to our forestry. I believe we will have a we subscription to get them If you have not checked out the benefits of a ladybug, you should absolutely!
