Buddy Bugs 1500 Pre-Fed Live Ladybugs for Aphid Control | Hippodamia Convergens | Guaranteed Live Delivery

I ordered these ladybugs to help manage an aphid and spider mite problem that had taken over parts of my vegetable and flower garden. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m honestly amazed at the results. The ladybugs arrived alive, active, and healthy. I followed the included instructions—releasing them in the evening and lightly misting the garden beforehand—and within just a couple of days, I noticed a clear drop in aphid activity. After about a week, the difference was dramatic. My kale, roses, and beans are looking so much healthier, and the spider mite damage on my tomato plants has almost stopped progressing. Aside from being great little pest control helpers, they’re fun to watch! My kids love spotting them crawling on the plants. It’s also a great feeling knowing I’m using a natural, chemical-free solution that’s safe for pollinators and other beneficial insects. If you’re dealing with aphids, spider mites, or other soft-bodied pests, I highly recommend giving ladybugs a try. Just be sure to give them a welcoming environment—they’ll return the favor tenfold.

Shipped on time via I think it was USPS priority mail. Due to local floods and delays the poor bugs were delayed 6 days. Arrived alive and after warming up and a little water they were flying around and ready for the aphid massacre! Very happy with the purchase and far less aphids.

These are the liveliest of the brands I’ve bought. I had them in the fridge for about a week before releasing and there was barely any dead ladybugs. They do their job munching all the aphids for about 10-12 days then fly away. The last batch laid some eggs so we still have a small amount of ladybugs. I mist the leaves to give ladybugs moisture. Shipping is $15.50 but worth it to eliminate the nasty aphids.

Amazingly Hardy and healthy ladybugs. FedEx screwed up the delivery and they sat with FedEx for a week and they were still healthy. I was impressed

Cannabis Indoor. Dim you're lights as low as possible if they are clustering. Shipping was pretty fast California to NY. I think it was 3-4 days. I do believe this time of year they are starting to become dormant as alot of mine grouped in piles. I also had the temps lower as I'm in late bud stage. I brought the temperature up to 75⁰ and then 80⁰ and a bout half or more woke up and got to work eating aphids. Its been a couple days and some are still in dormant stage but seem to be waking up more and more. Im going take a guse and say they have eaten about half the aphids. Since buying these little bugs i have since learned that they are better as a preventative measure. So if you're growing indoor get some lady b7gs and try to keep them alive and thriving in your grow room. Their larva eat more than the adults do. I bought 1500 it definitely didn't seem like there was that many... A rough count upon release says maybe 800 they were all alive though. If you want them to control a bad pest problem fast get way more than you need. 1500 per 3 foot plant would probably be faster and more effective

I have a lot of aphids in the garden. I use to just squish them with my fingers, but they have multiplied. I decided to try releasing ladybugs. When the bugs arrived they were in a mesh bag which was in a box with holes. Looking at the ladybugs, they were all very active, so I put them in the frig. That evening, I watered the garden a little and set out the ladybugs to warm up. In about 10 minutes they were active. I cut a corner off the bag and held the bag at different spots in the garden. The bugs were crawling all over the plants and some started eating the aphids immediately. After using half the bag, I put the remaining bugs back in the frig to use the next day or two. In the morning I checked the ladybugs in the garden. Most were still there, but I'm sure some flew away. They were a bit slow with the cool morning, but they soon started eating the aphids. Hopefully, the next release will at least get rid of the majority of the ladybugs.

They were super hungry when they came out. Lost about 200 of them in transit but most lived. Some stayed and are still busy eating aphids today. Most left even though I put them on a tree full of aphids.

All my bugs came alive and in great shape! I released them the same day and they were very energetic and moving around quite a bit. Sadly, over the next few days they all dispersed and I dont see any in my own yard anymore. I bought them because my milkweed was infested with aphids. I put out a bug hotel and a rotted log next to the milkweed to give them someplace to live as well. I thought with the food source and welcoming habitat, they would stick around. But they didnt. Even if they arent in my own yard, I know I am improving the neighborhood! I will probably buy some more next spring!
