They dine only on insects 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 insect 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 insects, 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.

I grow plants indoors and lady bugs help control the predator bugs feeding on my plants. The lady bugs shipped good 90 percent of the lady bugs living when I got the package. Great value

I let them loose almost immediately and I could see that they got right to work! Roughly only 2/3 survived but is reasonably seeing how it’s a living insect. They arrived after 5 days but that’s longer than I would’ve preferred it take. I would definitely recommend them to others!

I have a balcony garden on a 10th floor apartment and it is consumed with aphids. I bought two bags of lady bugs and spaced them about 2 weeks apart. By the second bag the aphids were seemingly gone.But a week later, so we’re all the lady bugs.Two weeks after that, all the aphids came back.It might just be the fact that I’m too high up for the lady bugs to want to stay, but unless I bought a bag of these a week it’s just not going to work long term.I’m probably going to lose my peppers to these dang pests

I live in Arizona so shipping ladybugs had me a bit nervous because I didn't know how they would hold up in the heat. Most of them were alive and I was so relieved when I got this package. I let the ladybugs out around evening when the sun was setting every night in my garden for about a week. The directions say to store them in your fridge when not releasing them and that's what I did. BE CAREFUL TYING THE BAG!! Even when I swore I tied it tight enough and no ladybugs would get out, I would open the fridge the next day and they were crawling all over everything! I finally just let them all outside at once because they were escaping in my fridge and obviously that's gross having bugs all over your food. I would recommend this if you are going to release them all at once but I'm telling you to beware if you store them in your fridge, good chances are they will find a way to escape. I really did not enjoy pulling ladybug carcasses out of my fridge weeks later... good luck!!

It took them a few days, and in the summer heat I did worry that they might not survive the journey. But survive they did! We opened up the box when it arrived and low and behold a package of thin, but very busy ladybugs were scurrying about in their little baggie.We put them in the fridge for a little nap after their long journey, then after nightfall, we wet the gardens, and introduced the ladies to their new environment. They took to it right away. A drink or two of the fresh clear Oregon water, maybe a nice dinner with a few of their bff ladybugs, then slip into something more comfortable for their first night.This morning they were out there, all over the garden. I don't know for sure if we got 1500 --- we may have been short one or two. They're kind of hard to count when they're scurrying about. But we got plenty and we're quite pleased with the results of our purchase, the ladybugs are thrilled with their new "forever home," and the aphids? Well, they're really not all that happy about the whole thing.

This is our second year raising monarchs. Last year our milk weed was overwhelmed with avids. This year we ordered Ladybugs from a different seller and all arrived dead. We ordered a second batch from this seller which arrived in well-vented packaging and very much alive. (It does help when you have an awesome mailman who recognizes the packaging and leaves the mailbox door open). I recommend alerting you mail carrier to be on the look out for your order and ask him/her to do the same).**I Refrigerated lady bugs for two weeks**Takes only 5 minutes to “wake them up”.**Lightly misted garden and released all 1500 lady bugs with some at bottom of the milkweed and some at top. I probably didn’t need to release all of them but I wanted to make sure.**Two days later there was not an aphid to be found.
