Protect your flower gardens, roses and trees from Aphids with live Lady Bugs. This package includes 1000 live Lady Bugs to cover up to 10 sq. meters. When released into your garden -preferably at night - the adult Lady Bugs feed and reproduce by laying eggs. Once these eggs hatch, hungry Lady Bug larvae keep your pests at bay!
An excellent general predator! Praying mantis consumes aphids, beetles, flies, mosquitos, moths, caterpillars and any insect they can catch. Praying mantis, an insect with an innate killer attitude, is a great garden predator. One egg case hatches many tiny babies that quickly disperse throughout your garden. Your egg case contains approximately 40 to 400 eggs.
Mating occurs in early fall and another egg case will be laid that will hatch the following summer. The egg case is laid as a foam that hardens into a spongy almost indestructible mass, usually laid attached to a shrub, weed, grass, etc., a few feet off the ground. The egg mass survives freezing, thawing, rain and all the elements to hatch in the early summer to start the cycle again.
