Live Ladybugs – Natural Pest Control for Your Garden

Looking for a safe, eco-friendly way to control pests in your garden? Our live ladybugs (Hippodamia convergens), also known as convergent lady beetles, are one of nature’s most effective pest control allies. Each adult ladybug can consume up to 50 aphids per day, along with other soft-bodied insects like spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, and insect eggs.

For best results, purchase and release ladybugs early in the season—before pest populations get out of control. Once released, female ladybugs lay eggs near pest-infested plants. The emerging larvae begin feeding immediately, providing two full generations of natural pest control. Adult ladybugs can live up to two years, supporting long-term balance in your garden.
