Could not believe it .Something that actually worked. Both my hibiscus were very heavily infected with blackfly. Bought 2 lots of larvae and bags. Did what they said to do. Fantastic. No more blackfly. Dont be sceptical people the larvae WORKS

I was really disappointed with the ladybird larvae purchase. My two apple trees are infested with woolly aphids and lots of other aphids. The trees are protected from ants. The 100 larvae I expected were not larvae but eggs. The little box came promptly. I put the contents of the box in the little bag and tied it to one of the apple trees immediately as instructed. I later read that in the evening is best and that it is better if the surroundings are moist. I did not see a single larvae, but did see 2 what could have been pupae a few days later. It is now a few weeks since I bought the eggs and the infestation is much worse ( it has been hot) and I haven't been able to spray even with water for fear of knocking any insects off.

All arrived in good order but I have a problem with the paper release bags that you supply. Maybe because I live on the coast but I suspect that the bags are blown around even after using drawing pins to attach them to my fruit tree coupled with BlueTack. I think that the cloth bags are a more resilient answer to this problem?

Delivery was very good, I followed all the instructions. From that point on I can't really comment as there is nothing to see apart from an empty release bag. I guess they have done the trick as I don't see any aphids etc.

Lots of new pets and some extra free ones, which was very kind, arrived quickly and in good shape. They aren't as beautiful as the adults and we can't name them as we can't tell the difference between them but they've toddled out of their little bag to munch the aphids in our polyjungle and we hope to see lots of beautiful adult ladybirds soon. We were slightly worried that they wouldn't find many aphids yet (we had loads last year from late July onwards) so have given them some smelly ladybird food in little ladybird houses (one ladybird palace, purchased, with diddy wooden ladybirds adorning it and several ladybird shacks, made by tying some bamboo twigs in a bunch). If they can control the aphid population and prevent it from destroying our plants this year, we will make certain to maintain their little houses and give them extra snacks in winter. We are optimistic about this. It's much more fun and safer than pesticide sprays.
