I started doing some research and decided I wanted to use Beneficial Nematodes to treat the yard. |

But I was worried that the aphids would get out of control before the beneficials had a chance to wake up and get established. I placed an order through the online form and was called the next business day by Caroline. She walked me through what I really needed (less than I'd originally thought), set up my order and rapidly sent me a box of ladybugs, and a box of lacewing larvae the following week. They totally decimated the aphids, saving my strawberries (which are just starting to turn pink)! |

He took time over the phone to make sure that I understood the proper application procedure and invited me to contact him with any further questions. He also made accurate estimates of shipping costs and delivery times. When the package arrived, I was impressed again. I found my order packed well, with a temperature-controlling cooling gel pack placed inside an insulated styrofoam shell nestled inside the box. (Note that I ordered nematodes and do not want to create expectations that all insects--or all shipping destinations--require the same treatment) Jim has won me over as a customer (from Territorial Seed, which shipped slowly and packed poorly by comparison.) |

We have been getting fly predators from him for years and we need to echo what the other comments say: Jim always calls to make sure you will be home, he asks if anything has changed, wants to know if your satisfied and does and A#1 job at customer service. |

He co-ordinated a delivery time so they wouldn't be delivered while i was at work and the order left setting on the front step in our really cold weather. I'm looking forward to doing more business with Jim and his company. Nice personal touch. |
Positive | hitoshi (3 reviews) | On May 9, 2005, hitoshi Durham, NC wrote: Great first experience with this company. I ordered ladybugs and praying mantis eggs from their website. Before shipping, I had a call from them with a proposed delivery date and asking if that was convenient, i.e. would conditions be right for release. The rep also walked me through the process of releasing the ladybugs. Amazing personal attention for a small order. |
