Please notify us of any issues within 24 hours of receiving the items, any issues that are brought forward after will not qualify for a refund or replacement. Please ensure you are available to receive the shipment when it is delivered, we will not be responsible for wrong addresses or unattended/mishandled deliveries. 

Beneficial Insects Handling and Care

Release the beneficial insects as soon as possible after receiving. Shipping and storage are very stressful for insects. We do not recommend storing them for over 24 hours.

For best results, release bios when temperatures are mild and humidity is high in the Greenhouse. Mid-afternoon can get very hot for beneficial insects, and their survival rate can drop.

If you are unable to release beneficial insects the day they arrive, keep them in a cool place. For most beneficial insects 16C-20C temperature is suitable.

Predatory mites need to be stored at a RH of 60% or higher. Low humidity can increase their mortality rate significantly.
