Hard working ladies!

I got two bags of ladybugs last spring and put them on linden trees that line our driveway. This was the first year in a long, long time that we didn't have a huge sticky mess from aphids. Highly recommend. Thanks, Ladies!

Half dead but still a good buy

I received my beetles yesterday and was very happy to see how many were roaming around the bag. Unfortunately, the wood chips that were put in the bag for water must have hid a lot of dead ones. Probably only half of them were actually alive. But the ones that survived seem rather frisky, so if I'm lucky, I'll have some larvae before long. A bit disappointed that they were out of stock when I would have reordered to replace the dead ones, but obviously not going to let that detract from my rating. 4 stars for having a tough product to ship and still have a decent amount survive. Thanks for offering this product!

They arrived in excellent health!

I live in Alaska so I was very surprised at how active and healthy the ladybugs were when they arrived. I set them loose in my greenhouse and the aphids are almost entirely gone now.

But I was very disappointed when I went to re-order and your web site now says you don't ship them to Alaska.

more then half were dead

I got a package of 1500 ladybugs and more then half were dead when I got them I was not happy since I really needed them but I made due with what I did get.

I'm so sorry to hear that - that's definitely not the norm. I will be following up to make sure you get either a replacement or refund.
