Protect your flower gardens, roses, and trees from Aphids with live Lady Bugs. When released into your garden -preferably at night over a 2 week period - the adult Lady Bugs feed and reproduce by laying eggs. Once these eggs hatch, the hungry little ladies keep your pests at bay!

Features:  

• Environmentally safe pest control  
• Ladybugs feed on Aphids, Mites, Scale, Thrips, Whiteflies and larva and eggs of other pests  
• Eggs are laid amongst Aphid colonies and when hatched eat up to 300 pests per day over a 28 day period  
• Must be kept refrigerated until released
• Excellent beneficial insect
• Hippodamia convergens: North American Native ladybug, does not bite nor go into homes unless you bring it into your home.
• Only eat aphids and other soft-bodied pest insects and insect eggs
• Adults: orange and black beetles that feed on aphids, mites, scales, thrips, whiteflies and beneficial insect food
• Adult ladybugs feed primary at night and lay eggs
• Eggs are white or yellow ovals,  laid in clusters on the undersides of leaves
• Larvae: having no wings, remains on your plants, keeping control of pests

• Both adult and larvae stage: great general pest controllers
• Upon receipt of the ladybugs place them in the crisper of the fridge to cool them down and release them in the evening
• Be sure to water the area before releasing the ladybugs, traveling is thirsty work
