Live Ladybugs – Natural Pest Control for Your Garden
Looking for a safe and eco-friendly way to control pests? Our live ladybugs (Hippodamia convergens), also known as convergent lady beetles, are one of the most effective natural predators available. Each adult ladybug can eat up to 50 aphids a day—plus other soft-bodied pests like spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, and insect eggs.
For best results, buy ladybugs early in the season, before pest populations explode. Once released, female ladybugs lay eggs near infested plants. The larvae hatch and begin feeding immediately, offering two full stages of pest control. Adult ladybugs can live for up to two years, helping to maintain ongoing balance in your garden.
