Why Choose Our Live Ladybugs?

• These beneficial lady beetles help naturally control soft bodied pests like aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, and spider mites.
• A safe, effective method of biological control—no chemicals required.
• Ideal for vegetable gardens, fruit trees, flower beds, and ornamental plants.
• Each batch is pre fed and comes with adequate food to ensure health during transport and upon release.

Application & Release Tips

• Recommended release rate: 1,000–1,500 ladybugs per 1,000 sq ft. Adjust accordingly for smaller spaces.
• Release in early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to reduce the chance they'll fly away.
• Lightly mist plants with water before releasing to encourage them to stay.
• Avoid using pesticides and consider planting herbs and flowers like dill, fennel, and marigolds to create a ladybug-friendly habitat.

Understanding the Life Cycle

Knowing the life cycle of Hippodamia convergens helps maximize their effectiveness:

• Eggs are laid near pest populations.
• Larvae are aggressive feeders, consuming large numbers of soft bodied pests.
• Adults continue the cycle, feeding and reproducing throughout the season.
