Each subscription box contains four different insect types, each chosen for its ability to combat a different type of pest pressure. Use in combination to prevent infestations and to rid your garden of current pests. Even if you can’t see them easily, they are working!
Your subscription covers approximately 500 sq ft. We recommend distributing the sachets or releasing the bugs close to the center of your garden or near infested plants. If you have 1 acre, we recommend 5 subscription boxes spread evenly throughout your space.
Nope. The insects are alive or ready to hatch and get working in the garden. Keep the box in a cool, dry place for up to 24 hours before releasing into your garden. Our beneficial insect program is designed to help them establish quickly and start protecting your plants right away.
Yes, they can survive high temperatures, but their activity may slow as a result. While they’ll continue to control pests, their performance may be less efficient compared to cooler conditions. Even in warmer weather, they remain an effective, natural solution for a healthy garden.
Since most of these are microscopic insects, it can be hard to see if they have hatched or not. We send more insects than you need in each sachet or card. Even if some didn’t survive the journey, the ones that did will be hungry and ready to breed, creating the next generation of Beneficial Insects to protect your garden. As long as there are pests to feed on, the bugs will stay put and keep reproducing.
Keep the box in a cool, dry place for up to 24 hours before releasing the beneficial insects into your garden. Soon after release, they will begin dispersing and getting to work, actively seeking out pests and establishing themselves in your growing environment to make an impact.
The best time to release the insects is in the late afternoon, ideally before dusk on the same day they arrive. Avoid releasing them during periods of extreme heat, as high temperatures can stress the insects. They perform best in cooler conditions, when the sun is lower in the sky.
