“I wasn't sure whether this ladybird larvae would really work in practice as our apple tree was literally covered in fly, but I am delighted to say it worked an absolute treat! We placed the larvae bag at the junction of the main branches, and put the ladybirds higher up, in many different places. Two weeks later the sticky residue was completely gone, and another two weeks later there in no sign of it returning... mission accomplished, with no need to use harmful chemicals!”

“I ordered a bag of ladybird larvae to help my poor little crabapple tree which was suffering under a huge infestation of greenfly. All the new leaves were withering. I didn't want to use poison and I didn't want to harm the ants who were farming them, just to redirect them and to save the tree I only planted the previous year. Well, when I saw how tiny they were I was a bit skeptical because I couldn't believe they could eat more than one greenfly eat and there were billions but wow!! They did the job! It was really incredible. I actually saw one of the larvae after a bit of time had passed and it was so much bigger after all its feasting. The leaves look recovered and the greenfly are almost gone. I think the tree can cope with the odd few, just not the heavy infestation there was previously. They really did an excellent job. I also followed the advice about putting vaseline on the tree trunk (and I squirted a tiny bit of washing up liquid on the vaseline as well as the ants were still walking into it at first) to stop the ants from climbing up the tree to farm the aphids/greenfly and protecting them from the ladybird larvae. I told the ants they are welcome elsewhere in the garden, but they aren't allowed in the tree because their farming methods are causing damage. They have agreed to keep to other areas and we are all happy now.”

“Honestly was really sceptical about spending £15 (ish) on mail order ladybird Larvae but my tree was being completely killed off by black fly so just decided to roll the dice, put the little box in the little bag and left them hung on the tree and in no more than 7 days the black fly were completely gone and the larvae were massive patrolling the tree looking for any leftovers! I will add we also used a glue band for the bottom of the tree to stop the ants as we read that they farm the aphids and will attack the larvae. Will buy again if needed!!”

“We are really happy we decided to try this with our serious aphid problem - it's been a massive success and we now have healthy pepper plants and, as an added bonus, several little ladybirds - we are delighted!”

“Excellent and effective. Ladybug larvae were delivered quickly with clear instructions and great packaging. Within a week I've spotted lots of ladybugs and my aphid infestation is greatly reduced. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!”
