In case you haven’t noticed, our aphid eating ladybugs, Hippodamia convergens, haven’t been available for the past few weeks. This was due to a lack of rain in California (it’s not the first time). Obviously this sort of thing is out of our hands, but it doesn’t mean we don’t feel bad about it. Lost sales are one thing, but your not being to get product when you need it can be a disaster. The good word today, though, is that ladybugs are back, and to treat you to even more goodness, we’ve decided to immediately put them on sale. Our way of saying: Thanks for your patience.
This sale is effective until the ordering deadline on October 31st, 2008, and will apply to orders placed by phone, fax, or made online. Please note, though, that the special pricing is good only for orders shipped no later than November 7th, 2008 (unless there is a delay on our end). To get started, you may purchase our ladybugs right now in our online shop.
