5000 fresh live ladybugs. We are the only seller on ebay that really does harvest their bugs everyday to make sure that only the freshest, best quality bugs are shipped to our customers. We do not refrigerate the bugs for extended lengths of time until they are sold. We have bugs in stock, no waiting.
Some people think we control the post office, we do not. Once the package is in their hands we can do nothing about how long they take to deliver, If the delay is long or the package is lost, we will replace the shipment if there is an excessive amount of dead bugs. The bugs are very sturdy, they have survived up to 3 weeks in transit many times. If you should happen to get DOA bugs, do not dispose of them, you may be required to return them for a refund or replacement. Last but not least, we respond to inquiries that are calm and non accusing a whole lot better than those that have us as a target to vent their frustration on. We do not like being accused of things that we have no control over and if you do, we get upset and respond in a like manner.
DOA bug disclaimer:
Please have someone available to receive the package when delivered or have your post office
hold for pick up. Packages left in mailboxes or unattended in areas exposed to direct sunlight or other source of high or low temperatures may result in dead ladybugs. It is your responsibility, not ours, to take whatever steps are needed to prevent overheated bugs.
For all packages that are left outside unattended anywhere that the sun may be on them for more than a few minutes regardless of the outside temperature above 85 degrees the temperature inside the box will increase 40 degrees in 30 minutes with over 50% of the temperature increase happening in the first 10 minutes.
The same holds true to packages left in mailboxes except mailboxes will have a higher temperature to start with.
85 in 10 minutes = 105 degrees
85 in 20 minutes = 115 degrees deadly to ladybugs in 10 minutes
85 in 30 minutes = 125 degrees deadly to ladybugs in 5 minutes
95 in 30 minutes = 135 degrees
105 in 30 minutes = 145 degrees
Watch out for second hand vendors, the bugs they sell have been shipped to them where they keep them refrigerated until they sell. These bugs will not live as long as fresh bugs and may carry disease and parasites that will harm your plants.
Scientific studies have shown that as much as 20% of ladybugs gathered in the wild may be infested with fungus, parasites or predator wasps. We take a random selection from all incoming ladybugs and screen them for any signs of infestation. They are crawl cleaned, fed and hydrated prior to shipment. Your plants are valuable, don't be fooled by low cost imitators, use only genuine High Sierra Brand Ladybugs.
What we do that the others don't:
1) We screen a sample of ladybugs from each
harvest to make sure that our bugs are disease and parasite free.
2) Every ladybug we ship has passed our proprietary test that culls out
any ladybugs that are not of premium quality. The culled bugs are
either sold wholesale to other sellers or released back into the wild.
3) We donate ladybugs to schools, girl scouts,
and other charities on a regular basis.
4) We provide ladybugs at no cost to Universities and scientific foundations
for study.
5) We hydrate and pre-feed the bugs prior to shipment
6) We provide the best customer service on ebay.
What we don't do that the others do:
1) We do not refrigerate our bugs.
2) We do not make misleading statements in order to make a sale.
3) We do not over harvest, we only collect the amount of bugs that we feel
are needed to fill the following weeks orders.
