OriLiv

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 😊

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.

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!

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

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.
