Important Information about Orders

• We fill our orders on a first- ordered first-served basis and typically have overwhelming demand (especially for those insects with limited availability), so it is advisable to order as soon as possible.
• We do not require prepayment. We enclose an invoice in each box as we ship. You can mail a check back after you have released your insects to begin working at your site.
• All insects are available only during specific time periods, depending on the life cycle of each species.
• When you order, you will be given an estimated timeframe for the delivery of each insect. We will work within your time constraints as much as possible, but be prepared to receive the insects when we call—insects cannot be shipped outside their window of availability.
• ALL ORDERS MUST BE SHIPPED BY OVERNIGHT DELIVERY. We do not ship without confirmation—all shipments are coordinated with you (or the recipient) prior to shipping so that you know they are coming.
• Shipping charges are in addition to the price of the insects. BE AWARE THAT OVERNIGHT RATES ARE QUITE HIGH. At your request, we will provide shipping quotes for your location.
• We will work closely with you to make the release process as efficient as possible. We will provide any consulting advice that you may require regarding the release, establishment, monitoring, and redistribution of these biocontrols as a service included with the purchase of the insects.
• All insects are packaged in breathable, escape-proof containers in well-insulated packaging. Packages are kept cool with frozen cold packs. We do not charge for our packaging.
• Additional incentives MAY BE available for larger orders.
