Live ladybugs have big appetites for being such petite insects. Their preferred menu includes alfalfa weevils, aphids, asparagus beetles, bean thrips, chinch bugs, Colorado potato beetles, eggs, grape root worms, larvae, mites, soft-bodied insects, thrips and whitefly. As you know, these are exactly the predators that are eating up your leaves and precious harvest outside. Therefore, it stands to reason that the more ladybugs you have, the less pests you have. You can order 4,500 live ladybugs for less than $40 and they will take care of 2,500 square feet of garden space for you!

When you order your live ladybugs, you will receive a UPS shipment of adult stage insects. Within 8-10 days of their release, each female ladybug will lay 10 to 50 eggs beneath leaves in your yard. In just 2 to 5 days, dark flight-less creatures with orange spots will emerge, ready to feast upon 50 to 60 aphids per day. After 21 days, they pupate and the prettier adult ladybugs come out in 2 to 5 days, hungry and ready to consume 5,000 aphids each! Arbico Organics ships their ladybugs Monday through Wednesday, with orders going out next-day. Since some ladybugs may perish during transport, extra ones are sent with each order. Ladybugs prefer temperatures from 61 to 82 degrees. If necessary, you may store adults for 1 to 3 weeks at 35 to 45 degrees before releasing them into the world to propagate.

Arbico Organics live ladybugs have been endorsed by numerous green blogs, such as www.idealbite.com, www.goorganicgardening.com, www.smart2begreen.com, www.organic-eden.com and www.organicgardeningbloghowto.com, to name a few. According to the Arizona Daily Star, Arbico Organics is the only company in the world that produces ladybugs. “Natural pest control is a growing business,” says Pamela Martinez from Arbico, the 22-year-old, Catalina-based company. She adds that they do ship these “tiny terminators” around the world, although live bugs cannot be sent to Hawaii.

Once you order your live ladybugs from www.arbico-organics.com, you will want to take a few measures to see that these beneficial friends stick around and don’t take wing with your $40 investment. First, release the ladybugs in the garden at night so they do not immediately fly away. (Ladybugs like to fly in temperatures above 55 degrees and in mid-day sun). Secondly, make sure to water your garden regularly so they have plenty to drink. Let the ladybugs do their thing and kill the aphids; just be aware that the ladybugs will only stick around as long as their food supply does. Keep plants that ladybugs appreciate around too, like cilantro, mustard, crimson clover, bronze fennel, vetches and buckwheat.
