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!
