NaturesGoodGuys - Green Lacewing Eggs (2500 Eggs)

I purchased the lady bugs previously and recently got the green lacewings. My first batch of lacewings didn't have much hatch and I asked them for any advice of what I could do and they promptly sent me a new shipment without any hassle. The new shipment I had to quickly place them as they were very lively and crawling on my hand. I will be using them again for sure.

This was an absolute waste. The first time I tried lacewing eggs from another vendor, I got a very low hatch grade but got some. Based on that, this time I monitored the hatching before releasing. The first pack gave me absolutely nothing. Not a single one. I contacted the vendor and they were very nice and send me another one. It came with one live larvae. I released it and monitored the hatching for the others. Not a single one more hatched. Have given them more than a month.

Excellent natural solution to the heavy aphid infestation on my 2 Rose of Sharon shrubs. I began using them 2 years ago. About to order for the fourth time to keep the aphids in check. Follow the instruction carefully and they will do the job for you. Yes, I once had a batch that didn’t make it thru the mail, they seemed to have already hatched before getting to me, but the company responded quickly to make things right. I also try to time when I place my order to avoid the weekend. I place the order Sunday night so that I receive by Friday or Saturday.

This could be great, but I don’t know when you release them. They do whatever they want in most scatter and I have not seen any sense. This could be my personal issue though.

The quality I have received from this company has been fantastic! Everything I’ve gotten has survived! I have gotten lady bugs, these, praying mantises, and predatory mites. The predatory mites saved my chickens from getting eaten up by mites!

Up until this order I have had great luck with Nature's Good Guys, but this time I was really disappointed. It is possible the bugs were frozen during shipping, but I doubt it since the about 80% of the lady bugs in the same shipment were alive and healthy. In fact they were so lively the flooded out of the bag as soon as I cut a small hole in it. They were thirsty which is to be expected, but seemed healthy. Only about 20% were dead or died within the first day from what I could see. I have not reached the company to get a resolution, but if they offer one I will update or remove this review.

None of the lacewings were alive or viable. Waste of money.

I have been using this company's products for over a year now and have had great results with them every time. even the one time I received an order of lacewing larvae and when I opened the package and did the usual things got everything ready setup and waited for a week. after that I had contacted the company and they did everything they could even offered me a refund but I choose to get a replacement to wich they promptly sent and this time whin i opend the package there was larvae already visibly moving around. this company has great products as well.
