The ladybugs that are sold are only native to certain parts of the US and are also almost always captured from the wild, which is not eco-friendly. Keeping whatever native ladybugs are in your garden is amazingggg. But releasing purchased ones is not a great idea.

Hello! We appreciate your opinion on this matter. However, we would like to point out that we acquire ladybugs from a very environmentally conscious, family owned company. We would not sell ladybug species that would not survive in the area, and they actually thrive in many different environments. Ladybugs do an amazing job of helping control unwanted pest populations, reducing the need to use harsh chemicals that have a negative impact on our environments. Releasing ladybugs has no negative impact on the ladybugs themselves or the environments they are introduced into, and in our opinion, it is a significantly better option to introduce ladybugs into your garden areas than it is to use harsh chemical pesticides that have been proven to have many negative side affects.

Well most of mine died. I released them in a shady wet area. Maybe they were already dead in the package, because in the morning I saw that they had died very close to the area I released them. I just ordered some more. I will try again.

Oh no! We are sorry to hear this. Shipping bugs can be difficult, especially if weather is still cold. It is difficult to say what could have happened without knowing more info. You can almost always find ladybugs in store at our garden center. This way you don't have to gamble with having them shipped. Let us know if we can help in any way!

@@BathGardenCenter I live between San Antonio and Austin. The night time temp has been in the 60’s and the daytime temp is in the lower 80’s at this time. Before I release them it had been raining. I am not sure what happened. Well the ladybugs sat at our local post office for two days before they reached my house. I am thinking that was the problem. A new shipment arrives this Thursday.

I see! Thank you for the extra details. It does seem like you did everything right! Though I would say that the ladybugs sitting at the post office for a couple of days could definitely have been the issue. I hope things go better with round two!
