DESCRIPTION
Scientific Name: Hippodamia convergens
Also known as the convergent lady beetle, LADYBUGS are among the most recognized garden allies. They exhibit the typical round dome shape of the Coccinellidae family, measure about 5-8mm, and have red to orange colored wing covers adorned with black spots. They are distinguishable from other lady beetles by the prominent black and white lines that converge behind the head. Both adults and larvae will actively seek and feed on a wide range of small insects, and occasionally nectar and honeydew. Adults can thrive for weeks or months in a variety of temperatures and humidity levels, as long as they have adequate food and water. In some cases, they may even overwinter in cracks and crevices. The full life cycle, from egg to adult, takes approximately 2-3 weeks. Females seek out aphid colonies and lay small clusters of 200 to over 1,000 yellow spindle-shaped eggs on the undersides of leaves. In about 3-5 days, the eggs hatch into dark, alligator-like larvae with three pairs of legs. These larvae actively seek prey for the next 10-30 days, sometimes traveling as far as 40 feet. After full development, the larvae undergo pupation for 3-12 days in a protective pupae attached to a leaf or stem until emerging as fully formed adults.

Our carefully chosen ladybugs go through a special cleaning and feeding process to make sure they are in tip-top condition. We include a food and drink source in each retail package to keep them ready for action.


LADYBUG LIFE-CYCLE:

Egg: 2-5 days  |  Larvae: 21 days  |  Pupa: 7 days  |  Adult: 1 year

 

TEMPERATURE
33-105°F


INTRODUCTION RATES
LIGHT INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, monthly.

MODERATE INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, bi-weekly, 2-3 times.

HEAVY INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, weekly, 2-4 times.


It's important to note that these release rates serve as general guidelines and may vary based on the specific pest species, the crop or plant being treated, and level of infestation. Proper monitoring of the infestation and the subsequent effectiveness of the released beneficial insect population is crucial for determining the success of the biological control strategy.


HOW TO RELEASE:

  1. Introduce ladybugs in the early morning, evening, or on a cloudy day when the temperatures are cooler. 
  2. Mist leaves to improve ladybug habitat. Misting the foliage beforehand may improve performance. With ample food and moisture, ladybugs can begin to reproduce immediately.
  3. Introduce ladybugs at the base of the plants.
  4. Introduce multiple times throughout the growing season to stay ahead of the pest lifecycle.

STORAGE
CONSUMER STORAGE:
For best results introduce immediately. Store at 36-45°F for no longer than 30 days.

RETAIL STORAGE:
Enjoy a shelf life of 30 days. Keep them away from direct sunlight, and if you’re storing them in the fridge at 36-45°F, they can last up to 4 weeks without watering. When they’re on display, give them a light mist once a week. To make them last even longer, switch them between display and the fridge each week.


PRO TIPS:
Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.

Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.

Finally, a treat that lasts and doesn’t make your house a mess!
Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green, Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green
These are fun, nylon dog toys. They actually have a smell to them that is noticeable if you put your nose right up to it. Our dogs love, beef knuckles, and they make such a mess in our house that we needed an alternative. I am happy to report that these worked! They also have several knobs on them so the dogs can wrestle with them a little bit. The way they are shaped makes it very easy for the dogs to pick up especially when you have short nose dogs like we do. The price for these is much better than what you would pay in any store. I think these are a great bargain and a great way to treat your dog without wrecking your carpets! You can also throw it in the dishwasher if you want to. I definitely recommend!

Very hard
Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green
Extremely hard and heavy. So hard my dog couldn't even bite it. She can only play with it on the rug for fear she might chip or break the floor tiles.

As advertised and didn't splinter with gnawing!
Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green, Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green
This toy is definitely made for major dog toy-destroyers! The dog bones are made of a hard nylon/plastic that is very different from the standard dog toy. The toy is rigid, bumpy, and has knobs on both ends to simulate the bone shape. One of the dog toys, out of the box, had an odd black mark along one of the knobs. It did not wipe away and had a thin piece of plastic attached to it. I did cut that away to be safe, as I don't want to risk my dogs choking, even on something small. That, to me, looked like a factory default. Maybe from when it was being molded? It was only on the one, so its very possible that its just mine. Also worth noting that the toys did NOT smell strange or like plastic as many do. That was honestly pretty refreshing. It does not exaggerate about its durability. The material of the toy makes it so it cannot bend or break. I honestly think it would mess up my car tires before it would mess up the toy if I ran over it in the yard. That being said, my bigger dog did put teeth marks into it immediately. Like, the second he put it in his mouth. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, since you don't want them to chip a tooth, but it is something to make note of. The gnaw marks did not splinter, as some durable chews tend to, which is an excellent sign of a long lasting toy. The second any of our toys splinter, we take them away as they can cause a choking hazard. We have two bulldogs and they both have played with this style of hard toy before. The smaller bully, the old man, was disappointed by my present of the nylon chew. He sat at my feet pretty pathetically until I gave him an ice cube and sent him on his way. He usually enjoys the hard chews, but I think its possible he didn't like the size of this one. Though, it is surprising. Our larger bulldog, the puppy, loved it immediately. He took it from my hand and ran off with it to gnaw on for probably an hour. Then came back to grab his brother's to gnaw on too! For the price, I think its worth it, as you get two of them, and the lack of splintering is game changing.

Hana approved, gold star toy
Color: Original Pack, Color: Original Pack
This is, according to Amazon, our 11th set in 3 months. According to Hana, our shiba/chi mix, this toy is immaculate. Crunch score is a 10/10 and the squeak? Don't get her started. High pitched, easy to squeak and protected by just enough crunch and fabric that it actually lasts. In fact, she will tear the toy open before the squeaker gives up. This may seem like a small feat, however most toys last 12-30 minutes before the teefies take the squeaker out of commission. Lambchops last about 15 minutes before the squeaker gives in and fluff decorates the floor. The only reason we buy so many so often is because 1. The teefies do eventually puncture and the moment that happens she guts the poor Claw instantly. And 2. She has about 11 teefies, so the mouth gets kinda icky and due to the crunch, washing these kind of sucks- retains a lot of water and cant dry. So we replace them often even if she doesn't get to the gutting. 10/10. Its her favorite toy. And we've tested a lot of toys.

Color: Tropical Pack, Color: Tropical Pack
These are adorable! I got them as a gift for my in-laws pups and when I was taking pics of them my dog now wants them soooo I’m going to order more for her! They are so soft and the details are hilarious! Just be careful because the pawcohol content is pretty high so I’m sure your dog will be feeling it after just one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
