Review: Ladybugs - Awesome
Review: Ease of use / number of larvae - I'm sorry but this product was extremely disappointing to me. It was going to be my Avenue to get rid of aphids without chemicals. I did get the tube of larva which had apparently count inside. Sent in the tube that it was it is impossible to release these outside without completely losing track of them. I wish there were better suggestions of how to make sure they got to the tree you got them for in the first place. Additionally one was dead. I don't think I got any results from this. Frankly I think that should be a refund.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did anyone else receive them in a plastic envelope? Someone, during the delivery process, stepped on and crushed their tube. Daughter so upset.**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So very pleased
*by C***N on May 23, 2021*

So, I ordered these babies because I had a pretty massive aphid infestation on my balcony garden, but the only full-grown ladybug options seemed extreme. I didn't think 300-1,000 buggies were necessary for my little 12x5 space and last season some of these dudes showed up naturally and did the job so well. I had a great time watching them work and grow and live, so I was SUPER excited for this order to arrive (ran downstairs like a kid on Christmas after getting the notification of delivery). 100% of the little dudes showed up alive, and they made great work on the tasty bugs waiting for them. I've had a wonderful time obsessively checking on them to make sure they're okay (I know they're insects, but I still had to worry). Literally my only complaint is that they sometimes wander off to places where I can't immediately find them, but that's how bugs do! I'm so happy to have found this super reasonably priced, all natural method of pest control, and fully intend to purchase again for the same reason when I inevitably have the same problem next season.
