These lady beetles help control harmful insects
Sta-Home™ Lady Beetles
These lady beetles help control harmful insects
- Naturally control aphids and other pest insects with these lady beetles
- Screened to remove parasitoid-infested beetles
- Ready to lay eggs the day you release them
Adult lady beetles and their larvae are an excellent, non-chemical way to control aphids, Colorado potato beetles in the egg stage, and other insect pests in your garden. But unlike the lady beetles sold by most other companies, ours are screened to remove parasitoid-infested beetles, are ready to lay eggs the day you release them, and most importantly, hungry for pests! Our Sta-Home™ Lady Beetles arrive healthy and ready to get to work on your damaging insect populations. Plus, the females immediately lay eggs, which provides a second wave of pest eaters within a week. Just sit back and watch your pesky insect population decrease by the day. Ladybugs will eat up to 50 aphids per day, and will also eat scale, mealy bugs, boil worms, leaf hopper and corn ear worm. Release them the day you receive them, either in the evening or the next morning.
- Season: both Spring & Fall
- Size: 1 Pkg (900 Lady Beetles)
