What is HippoLiv?

HippoLiv contains laboratory reared lady beetles with Bugfeed. Lady beetles are an important natural enemy of aphids and can quickly suppress hotspots. It is a generalist predator which means it can also attack other soft-bodied invertebrates such as scales, mealybugs, and thrips. It can also survive on pollen when prey is scarce, but must consume aphids or other live prey to reproduce.

Lady beetles sold by GrowLiv are lab-reared and pre-fed to encourage egg laying. Unlike wild harvested lady beetles, they are free of parasitoids and diseases and provide better control overall.

  

  Orders are only shipped Monday through Wednesday. Any orders placed past 10am on Wednesday through Sunday will be shipped the following Monday.

    Great value great quality

    I have purchased the lady beetle several times and I am always happen with what arrives. Having breeding pairs and juveniles in the container is a sign of a healthy host colony. Repeat customer any time I need them!

    Hot peppers quickly recovered

    I bring my hot peppers inside during the winter. Last month they became infested with aphids, so much so, they only had a few leaves and were clinging to life. I tried hand washing with soapy water, which did very little. Someone on Facebook suggested ladybugs, so I ordered 25. In about 2 weeks, that sheen left behind by aphid excrement was all but gone, and new leaf growth was proliferating. The plants are well on their way to a full recovery, and the lady bugs seem to still be thriving.

    Thanks for the wonderful review. We're glad to hear you are happy with our lab-reared lady beetles :)

    They all died

    The lady bugs all died in a matter of days, despite following all directions, and even while they were alive they wouldn’t stay anywhere near my spidermite infested plants. They clung to my windows and provided no benefit. I called growliv and left a message to ask questions, but never received a call back.

    While lady beetles are aggressive aphid predators, they cannot survive on a spider mite diet alone. When lady beetles don’t have the required food, they tend to either fly away in search for food or starve and die. A predator such as Persimilis may have been a better choice for spider mite control. Next time please reach out to us and we can help you decide on a natural enemy that works best for your pest issue.
