Last Entry for 2009
We’re back and hopefully you’re glad to see us. This will be our final entry for 2009 and with it we figured a couple of updates and announcements are in order. And, of course, a final pat on the shoulder to you, with our encouragement and best wishes for a prosperous and happy New Year. Now, without further ado — since we know you really want to get back to over-eating and drinking since the holidays aren’t over yet — some news.

We’re On Vacation This Week
As we warned in a previous entry, we’re closed this week and will re-open on December 28th. This means that unless you have pre-arranged a drop-shipment for this week, we will not be shipping. Moreover, we will not be available by phone. If you need us you can send a fax to 603.942.8932, which is secure for ordering, or leave us a short phone message at 603.942.8925. We’ll get back to you when we return. You can still place orders by way of our online shop, but do know that most live organism shipments, if ordered this week, will be delayed until the first week of January (ladybugs, however, which happen to be on sale, will ship next week).

Winter Holidays Ladybug Sale
As it was last time we had an up-and-coming vacation, we have decided to have a ladybug (Hippodamia convergens) sale for this season’s vacation (read that entry for details). We’re doing this because ladybugs are the easiest critters for us to deal with in terms of fast order fulfillment due to being drop-shipped. We can respond quickly upon our return and make sure everyone gets what they need without too much of a delay. We don’t want to encourage you to purchase a bug we might not be able to ship for two weeks.

December 2009 Holidays Heads-Up
This entry is meant to communicate our up-and-coming holiday schedule to those who might have missed our deadlines and schedule. We don’t want anyone to be inconvenienced. We will be closed for a week for one thing, and then there are the typical delays caused by the holidays in general. Christmas, New Years Day, even Boxing Day in Canada. They all impact us. We’re here to help you sort it all out.

Limited Time Horticultural Oil Sale
If used right, some pesticides can be employed as part of a responsible integrated pest management (IPM) program using biocontrols. For example, using horticultural oil as a dormant oil against orchard tree pests in the off season is a responsible usage. That’s why we’ve decided to offer this product during this late-season sale.

Thanksgiving Message: 2009
It’s that time of year again. The holidays begin with Thanksgiving. And from there it all happens so blindingly fast. We want to get your attention at the beginning of this time, before you’re caught in the whirlwind, and give you our thanks. We survived another year — and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you very much!
Please read on for important scheduling and shipping info.
