 What is OriLiv?

OriLiv contains adult Orius insidiosus mixed with buckwheat hulls. It is best known for its ability to suppress thrips, being one of the only predators commercially available that can feed on all mobile stages of thrips. It is a generalist predator which means it can attack a range of soft-bodied insects and mites, including aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and soft-scales. When prey isn't available it can survive on pollen.

 

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

    Great experience!

    Everything arrived quickly and alive. I was surprised at how fast the orius bugs are. They went to work right away, destroying my thrip infestation. I will be ordering again soon 😊

    Not sure if it's worth the $$$

    I'm not sure if it's as effective as they'd be. I've provided the proper environment for it. However, after a week, I still found some adult thrips on my plants. There were still some damage. I think it wasn't effective and I'd now have to rely on sprays until a new shipment of swirski mites arrive. The package was shipped through Canada post and I think it's been left there for a few hours until I found it. I was home but whoever delivered it didn't even ring the doorbell and just left the package outside. It wasn't until I checked the tracking a few hours later that I found out it was already delivered. I didn't contact the company because I still saw some adults were alive but I didn't see much activity from them. Not sure if I'll order again, 3 star because it may not be the company's fault but the delivery. I know it was below 10 degrees that day. Not sure if it was worth spending money for.

    OriLiv

    Sadly, I have recently been fighting a thrips outbreak. I really had no idea what to do. I had started watching plant videos on YouTube and found Alina from Planterior Decorator who lives in my city and uses Beneficial Bugs to address any pest issues. I wasn't really keen on using them but was not sure what else I could do. I watched her video numerous times. She recommended GrowLiv Biologicals to get good quality beneficial bugs. I was still nervous about bringing more bugs into my home so I spoke with Meshal from GrowLiv a couple of times via email. I shared all of my worries and was totally sold on trying OriLiv because I certainly didn't want to lose my collection and let's face it, I already had bugs I didn't want on my plants. So I placed all my plants in my grow room and bought 500 OriLiv beneficial bugs. They came within a day and in a bottle with a hole in the top and corn husks with the beneficials. I literally shook them out and onto the soil and in some cases such as succulents on the leaves. My thrips were gone. A few reappeared in mid April which made sense for their life cycle. This time I ordered 1000 OriLiv beneficials and felt I had enough to give my plants a good amount of bugs. My plants are in great shape! I love beneficial bugs and will use them regularly for maintenance. Some things to know: they are so tiny you really don't see them once in your plants, they mature if you're lucky to see them into tiny beetles, they fly a bit but fungus gnats fly more and drive you crazy while these little beetles seem to have a mission and head to a plant. Finally, they don't crawl on you while dispensing them into your plants, you simply shake them out. I did take the lid off to dispense a larger amount around my larger plants without issue.
    This is a great company with fantastic customer service and what they tell you on the website is accurate. If you live in Canada, I recommend GrowLiv Biologicals for purchasing quality beneficial bugs. I'll never go back to using any other option. I'm a new bug lover! 5 stars!

    Best greenhouse defence!

    Oriliv arrived quickly and very healthy. Lots of activity and obviously ready to be released immediately. Very happy with our purchase, thank you!

    I've got bugs!!

    My bug order was sent promptly and I could see the bugs moving around as soon as they warmed up. I've ordered many times before and will continue to order from Grow LIv.
