Someone mentioned these are not the red round "typical" ladybugs. In our area we now only have orange biting ladybugs. What are these ladybugs like?

the 5 kits we ordered a couple years ago had correct lady bugs.I refill with local bugs from the Home Depot or McLendons.I have ordered them on line with great success also. I have had NO luck buying eggs so the classrooms can start from scratch. these containers are nice looking but if anything gets moldy inside it's hard to fet the pieces out without Ladybugs escaping. need LONG tweezers or forceps! (raisins in particular)

Give them a few days to finally nosey onto to them, I also put sand on the top of my plants, because gnats don't like that. I may see one now and then, but I was infested with them, they were so aggrevating. The sticks do work. Just be patient. Are you using the ones that you slide into a stick? Those are the best. I tried them all. Good Luck.

Sorry to hear that. Mine are definitely orange and shoot upwards and out. I'd see if it could be exchanged because it's a really cool (but hot) heater!

I can not give this a good grade. I bought a double supply of ladybugs..put them out in "shifts', as suggested with the nectar (following the directions on the bag) they did seem to like it at the time but then, within a week all the ladies were gone. Guess I didn't have enough insects to keep them satisfied.. A lot of good reviews but not from me sigh..lew

we never saw 1 praying mantis... and believe me we tried. it was an experiment that sadly did not bode well here. I wont give up, i'd like to try again. we just never had a successful egg batch. GOOD LUCK!!!

I have no idea. I was told ladybugs for aphids. This was the best buy. I haven't seen one since the night I released them and haven't seen any aphids either.Jim

Hi Dino B. Thank you for asking! These are supposed to come to you alive. It is possible that a couple could be dead here and there, depending on the weather during shipment and how long they have been on the seller's shelf or in cooling. As to the customer service, that depends on the seller. Here at Dooya Dubia, we want our customers, and their herps, to be completely satisfied. If you aren't satisfied, we haven't done our job properly. Please read our shipping and returns policies before ordering live insects from us, as we do request that our customers provide us with certain information when ordering such as the temps in your area and whether a Hold for Pickup is necessary. We do our best to make sure that your insects arrive alive. If the temps in your area are above 80 degrees, we include an ice pack so that we may try to maintain our Live Arrival Guarantee. When ordering during temps over 90 degrees, we cannot guarantee live arrival even with an ice pack and require that the package be held for pickup at your local post office. It's just too hot for the insects. We do our best to try to work with our customers, though. Likewise, when ordering during cold whether, with temps under 40 degrees, a heat pack is required. If temps are just too hot or too cold we don't ship until the weather gets better. I hope that this answers your question. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

Yes! That is the kind of wasps I was seeing in central Florida. Could not sit on patio till I got this product. We had a small bee population too and this kept them away too. It took a few days till the word got out in the flying bug groups but now if we see one it does not hang around long. What they see is not their nest so they take off quick. I highly recommend these things. Many of my neighbors bought them too.

i do not no. i know they work on the ones we had here . we still had to use bug stuff around the outside of the house , due to nasty neighbors moving and leaving behind such a mess . you can sure try them. i no they work wonders on mice , and so far we have not seen any bugs either .

Based on other comments, it appears to be the same device. As a follow up, my house is now essentially free of ladybugs - maybe a dozen in the last two years.

My understanding is only on ladybugs outside. Try something sweet to the taste on plants in your yard. You will probably need a professional for inside the house.

Mine have always been red. I haven't ever seen them in another color. As long as the power is on they are red. I replace about every 6 to 12 months. They have been very effective on both insects and rodents.

We were given a B&H; Ultrasonic Pest Repeller after we had a hatching of small spiders and another one of small ants. This was in the fall of 2011, and within 4 days to a week, all the bugs were gone. Now this spring, I have noticed a couple ants and spiders around, so I don't know if these things wear out or not, but I'm getting a set of three to help the one that I currently have. I have every confidence that the new set will wo9rk as well as the first one I had.

No names on items but each one is a different variety. I had no duplicates. All were healthy on arrival with no pests as in previous answer. I lost only three but due to putting them in too much sun initially.

I'm not sure how well ladybugs would work against spidermites, but I had ladybugs all summer. I think green lacewings would work well against spidermites. Those things eat anything that moves, including other ladybugs and each other. Hope that helps

Are your bulbs exposed? The first time I bought ladybugs, I didn't realize they'd fly up to the lights and fry themselves...
