Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product is not only effective,safe, and clean but also not unsightly.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Just moved to the Southeast. What an awakening to find my new home becomes infested with hundreds of asian ladybugs. Bought several of these traps. Did not catch one bug, but the traps did make a mess when they fell off the windows.
Gardeners was great about replacing. Too bad they don't work.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We had asian beetles crawling all over several windows, across the floors, on the tables and within a week they were gone. This really works and it works fast.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Last fall I became infested with Asian ladybugs. So did other people that I know. I tried so many 'cures' but nothing worked. It was with desperation that I tried this product. Within two weeks I was totally free of the pests. It was amazing! No odor, no mess and best of all no ladybugs.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I wanted to use this in on a door with paned windows. It would not fit in the smaller area. This is where we have the most problem with the bugs. Also the instructions do not say anything about having to keep the wick wet for it to be activated.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This trap is totally useless if you have more than two ladybugs in your house. It claims to cover a wide area, but when you get the trap, they say it should go on EVERY pane in you house. It comes with "improved" sticky tape to hold them up, which means it stays on the window for maybe a week before falling off. The two that I bought caught exactly two ladybugs. Don't waste your time and money.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We applied the Buster to our window as instructed. After about one week the tape let go and the powdery egg shells flew everywhere. The powder inside is extremely fine and was a real mess to clean up. There needs a better (safer) way to attach it to the window.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I followed the directions exactly as per the instructions; however, even after ensuring my windows were clean, the device would not stick to the window and fell off in less than 24 hours. So I set it on the window seal, but I found it to be an unattractive, useless, money-loosing hoax.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Great product! Our house was overtaken by the lady beetles this past summer and somehow they survived the winter too! This was a great product. It helped get rid of all of the lady beetles in the house. At least I assume it has as we have not seen one for a very long time.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
great product. It really worked which surprised me. It seemed like I had billions of lady bugs, and shortly after using the lady bug traps, I had none.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Very good product, have not seen one bug after two
days on the glass dooor. one problem, the sticky tape
does not hold well to the plastic on the container, had to use heavy clear tape to hold it on. Some of the media was lost when it fell, otherwise it is doing the job of eliminating the BUGS
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I put one upstairs and the other downstairs on two of the windows the ladybugs like the most. After a week of bing in place, there has not been a ladybug in site on any window.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The lady bugs went in, but they climbed right back out.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Needing to be placed on the sliding glass door, I needed to use industrial strength velcro to make it stick. If it falls to the floor, cleanup is a nightmare, so be sure to make sure it is well secured.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We have been overrun for at least 2 years with ladybugs in our bedroom. Finding the Ladybug Buster has saved our sanity! We lost some of the powder because the lure plug had come loose [...], but the slight inconvenience of salvaging the product was well worth the effort.We love your catalog and your products. Thank you very much.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We had a HUGE infestation of ladybugs in our (very large)basement. Still don't know where they came from but over 4 months they just kept multiplying. They were found in everything and working their way up to the main floor. Bought the "Buster" and within 2 days the problem was resolved. I didn't think the simple powder canister would work (we placed it on a window where the most bugs seemed to be) but we haven't found a single ladybug in the last month!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Product easy to install but not very effective.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I attached this gadget to my kitchen window. I never saw any asian lady bugs go near it. They were on the ceiling, walls, the window and everywhere in between. 3 weeks later, it fell from the window. The stick-on tapes were still firmly attached to the window itself. White 'sand' went everywhere and after cleanup went promptly into the garbage. Don't waste your money. Much too expensive for such a flimsy 'trap'.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Was unhappy with the self-adhesive strips. On one side, the adhesive backing pulled off the adhesive and I had to improvise with some double-backed tape to get it to stick. Hard to get unit level at top of window. However, despite this, I have had this installed for about 3 weeks and have only found ONE ladybug on the floor of my basement bathroom in that time. This compares to having 10 per day every day on the window sill and floor. I could not believe how instantaneously this device worked to capture the ladybugs!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
It's impossible to know if reduction / absence of pest is due to weather / season changes or product??
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Since I purchased the Ladybug buster we have greatly reduced the Ladybug problems in our house, amazing....
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We have had a problem with the asian beatle's and ladybug's for a long time. Limited to what we could use with our pets we decided to try the Ladybug Buster and within 2 weeks we have notice a dramatic reduction in them. I would highly recommend this product to my friends and family, and would purchase this product again.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Not one bug was found on the trap. [$] down the drain.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Easy to install, but did not attract/trap my pesky ladybugs. The only thing that has worked for me was a room fogger that forced the pests to leave the inside of my house.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
These products have not done anything - they do not work and not worth the money and when they eventually fall off your window the powder inside it goes everywhere!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I notice others had the same problem with this product falling off the window. I called the manufacturer and they were most helpful and cooperative. Apparently there was a technical problem with the tape, which has been resolved. Now, with the new tape and a trap in each problem window, we have no more ladybug problem. It takes a few days to work, but this is an ingeniously simple well-made product the only thing that works, and we've tried everything else.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I purchased the cluster fly and the beetle catcher for our No. woods home. It has been two weeks since the traps were placed on the windows, and so far they are working great. I plan to purchase more of them.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The ladybugs didn't go near it. We've had it mounted for nearly a month, the bait thingy is kept moist as per instructions, and the infestation goes on. So far, the most effective method to get rid of them is just to vacuum them up. Would have rated this product "no stars" if allowed. A huge disappointment from a company whose products have consistently been excellent.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Has really helped clean up the asian beetle problem that we had...powder slips and spills out quite a bit.
Difficult to fit on non-standard window.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Never attracted a bug and fell off the window in 2 weeks
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The trap fell off of my window in 3 days.
I did not see any lady bugs going any where near it.
I am very disappointed.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Ordered two and installed as directed. I follow directions. One fell off the window right away and could not be re-adhered. The other doesn't appear to be attracting the bugs, as there still are as many littering the floor as before.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The ladybugs just walk on it, around, but never inside it
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Our kitchen windows were covered with the Asian lady bugs. Tried attaching trap to the window top per instructions but tape didn't stick. Gave up and set the trap on the windowsill. Within 3 days all the beetles were gone.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We bought 4 of these for our home and followed the directions to a tee. Messy and did not catch/attract any ladybugs at all. Complete waste of our money!!! Not effective!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Very disappointed in product. I bought two and both of them fell off the windows within 1-2 days after installing causing the powder inside to go everywhere. Very messy clean-up. The bugs that crawled through the spilled powder did die but I felt bad watching them.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
YEA!!!!!!!!!NO MORE LADYBUGS!!!! THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. NO MORE RUNNING THE SWEEPER, AND THE SMELL.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We had high hopes for this product, after battling scores of asian beetles all through the fall, winter and into the early spring. Not one asian lady beetle entered the trap, from what we could tell. This product didn't appear to have any effect on our asian lady beetle problem.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Does not seem very effective. We have way to many windows in our home to use this product the way it says to use on the directions. Two per window can become very expensive.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This is a great product and solved our ladybug problem immediately! I would highly reccomend it to anyone!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I placed the trap in an area that swarmed with hundreds of the bugs. Not one found its way into the trap. I'm very sad that this product did not work. I'm still desperately seeking a solution to the beetle infestation.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
WE DID NOT SEE ONE ASIAN BEATLE GO IN THIS THING...AND WE HAD PLENTY OF THEM ...THEY WERE MAKING ME CRAZY..VACCUMING ALLLLL THE TIME !!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT !!! THEY SHOULD REMOVE IT FROM THE CATALOG !!!!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
These were the Japanese stink bugs that look like ladybugs. When the weather starts warming we had them on the back porch and the ceiling of our master bedroom, too numerous to count. Two of these traps were placed up high on our screened in porch and since then, we have not seen any of these bugs in the house. I recommended them to our Active Adult community because of the success we have had. I need to say thanks, because these bugs were a deterrent from enjoying the beautiful weather and I hated counting bugs at night instead of sheep!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
It was easy to use and easy to clean up.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
used velcro to solve my problems. makes them more versitile. take down to clean windows, refill, recharge attractant.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We have to; both are on windows that get a lot of sun in the winter. There is a constant procession of lady bugs headed toward the units. They no longer fly around the bulbs on our bedside tables at night.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The bug buster kept falling off the window.I followed the instructions and cleaned the window as instructed.I finally threw the item away,it was a waste of money.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product fell off the window twice before I put my own adhesive on it and I have yet to see one bug even heading in it's direction. I have followed all of the instructions to the letter. I was really hoping this would cure my problem with ladybugs in the house but I wouldn't waste my money on it again.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Didn't seem to work. Bugs seemed attracted but didn't go in the trap. Fell off window while on vacation and came home to a white powder mess throughout the room. Disposed of it a month after purchase!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Last year I was plagued by Asian Ladybugs from the first warm days of spring through late fall. They managed to creep past the most secure window frames. This year I put a Ladybug Buster from Gardener's Supply up on the window that seems to be the most attractive to the bugs. It's a southwest facing window in my dining area. and last year there were times there were 50 or more ladybugs on that window at a time. EEEWWW, the stench when they were killed! The bug buster seems to be doing its job so far. The weather has been shifty this spring but even on the hottest days the lady bug population inside seems to be dramatically reduced. Reactivating the bait is simple, the trap is unobtrusive up in the corner of the window, and it seems to really do the job. It is early in the season and I am eager to see how well it works once the days get hotter and stay that way but, for now, it seems to be a great product. The only problem I have had is that exactly one week after I put it up the sticky foam strips that are intended to anchor it to the window failed and it fell. It didn't break and I reattached it using a general purpose contact adhesive.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Every spring and fall we have difficulty with lady bugs invading my house - this is especially a concern this year since we have a toddler who loves to put things in his mouth. We tried vacuuming up the ladybugs every day or so, but this became tiresome and time consuming. I saw this product featured in your catalog and thought, "What the heck...let's give it a try." and it works! Thank goodness.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
You must reactivate the bait weekly, if it actually works. I'm still using the vaccuum to clean up.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
what a horrific waste of money! I can't believe That gardener's would allow their customers to be taken advantage of in such a terrible manner. The reputation of the catalog itself is harmed by offering this product. I has been a long time since I have been this disappointed in any product that I actually elected to pay money for. I bought 4 of them because of our home size, and not a single bug has managed to accidentally fall into the traps. Plenty are still swarming in every window of the house though. Only gave it 1 star because system wouldn't let me give itzero!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I bought the lady bug buster and used them according to the instructions that came with them and they have yet to catch a lady bug. I found sticking them to a piece of tape a better way of getting rid of them and I am truly disappointed in the product and would not recommend it to any one I know.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We had high hope for these, but they do not remain stuck to the windows. We came home and found 3 of 4 we had placed in the house had fallen down with the contents all over the blinds, windowseals and floor. We have a dog so was concerned with him ingesting the stuff.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The lure certainly attracts them but they just collect around the outside, not trapped inside.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Don't bother wasting your money. the product is very cheaply made, holes look like they were cut by an elementary school kid using safety scissors, there was so little powdered egg shell that the one asiatic beatle that got caught, escaped and looked slightly dusted. Overall, I highly recommend staying away from this item.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
It to me is a cruel way to eliminate them
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have a swarm of these ladybugs. I've used this product and it greatly reduces the number of them. It doesn't eliminate the bugs entirely, but the few that remain are a minor irritation compared to when I don't have the traps.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have bought numerous gardening supplies and have been very pleased with everything except for this. It did not work at all. After about a week it fell off the window and there was not a bug in it.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I purchased two of the traps. Right after putting the bait in the bugs were crawling all around the traps and on the outside of the traps. I never saw any go inside and see no decrease in the number of bugs. I resorted to spraying for them.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We reactivated the trap from last year with much success. Of course there are always a few stragglers. Just purchased this second one for another room in our home. I do need prompts to reactivate weekly. Thank you.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We live in an old house and get inundated by lady bugs twice per year. I installed the Lady Bug Busters about two weeks ago in three 'hot spots' around the house in preparation for their out-migration. So far I have not seen one bug actually go into the trap. For the most part they still climb on the windows and drapes where the traps are set. I have seen an increase in the number of lady bugs at these locations though. So I think the attractant is working, perhaps our lady bugs are too stupid to climb into the trap. For now I am still making my nightly rounds with the dust buster vacuum. The $20+ price tag per trap does not make this item worth it for me.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Used the product as directed. It is completely ineffective!!! Should be taken out of the catalog.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The trap fell off the glass on the window and made a mess everywhere on the floor.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We followed the direction but still have the bugs.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
It appealed to me because I don't like to use poisons in my house, but it is expensive for something that only works in a limited area.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I bought one of these two years ago and it worked like a charm -- within a couple of weeks, I had almost no ladybugs in my bathroom. Last year, there were very few bugs as well.
This year, I replaced the unit with a new one. It is not having a noticeable effect -- the number of ladybugs has increased since I installed it three weeks ago. One day, I even left the attractant rod in a cup of water on the window sill for a while to rehydrate it -- when I went back, there was one ladybug on it (probably a random event) and dozens elsewhere around the windows -- nowhere near the so-called attractant.
Although I recommended it to others in the past, I can't do so this time.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product really works. I had been killing an average of 8-10 ladybugs per day in my home. Since installing it 2 weeks ago I have only seen two ladybugs. I am very happy with the product.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Cleaned window, stuck unit to window, didn't stay more than a few days and fell off spilling contents (very few beetles) reattached and same results. threw it away, useless. Over priced.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
An old farm house with what seems to be hundreds of new (ladybug) arrivals every day. You'd think at least one would have crawled into one of the 4 traps in place. We kept the traps moistened as directed, located in sunny windows, and not even one ladybug in a trap. Disappointing.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I followed the directions perfectly and the product simply doesn't work. I got some great pics of ladybugs crawling all around the "buster", but not IN the buster...so yeah, this product is a BUST!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I may have helped alittle with the Ladybugs but hasn't gotten them as I would've liked. We still have too many
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I bought one trap because of the mixed reviews, and I put it up last night. This morning, I had no ladybugs in the window, and this afternoon, which is when it is the worst, I have only a handful of ladybugs. I just ordered another three traps to put into the other windows. I was at my wit's end because I was so infested with ladybugs, but I found an answer!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I researched this product and got mixed reviews. I have a major asian beetle (not ladybug) issue. They appear especially in my bathrooms but are found dead/alive throughout my home. I spent countless hours to find a better solution and figured I would try this out. I followed the directions to the T but saw no results. My asian beetles walked around the ladybug buster. In the end I'm dealing with my asian beetle issues. I sweep them up and vacuum them up even though they are still alive. I can't wait till they leave. I returned the product.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
this product did not control the lady bugs very disappointed!!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Total waste of money
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Put this in a window, was there quite a few weeks, still having bug problems, changed to another window, still no bugs in the bug zapper just all over the house, was hoping this would work was going to put them in several windows, but so far a waste.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We have a huge issue with Asian Ladybugs I kill on average 60 a day this trap has yet to catch one.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I did not buy enough to cover each window section as the instructions suggested. I've been invaded with these asian lady bugs on the south facing rooms of the house. I put one trap on each of the two large windows facing south. I still get lady bugs but I do believe quite a few less than I would have w/o the traps, based on comparison to another south facing room.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I found these to be completely ineffective. I put two in the windows of rooms with swarms of the pests and weeks later have found only a few insects in each trap. I followed the instructions and rewet the bait cylinder to no avail. For anyone like me with a true ladybug problem this is like spitting in the wind. They are too expensive.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Those pesky Asian beetles are a real pain.
This product definitely helps.
I bought one for myself and one for my mom.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I am shocked at how many people are disappointed by the Lady Bug Buster. These traps have saved my sanity, by consistently controlling the Asian Lady Beetle Population in my home all winter. The benefit is two fold, as not only is it removing all the disgusting things as they come in, it is preventing them from breeding and making even more.
I am on my second trap, the first one lasted one full "ladybug" season (do not need it in the summer months) plus half of this season.
I can tell when the lure needs soaking, as suddenly there will be many more of the nasty things around. If I delay soaking for too long, it takes a while to see the population of them go down again, as they seem to breed quickly.
This "ladybug Buster" is a wonderful amazing thing.
a few bugs attracted to trap
fifteen minutes later
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We placed the ladybug buster on a window in the kitchen exactly as the instructions directed. It has been about one month now and while I see ladybugs on the window near the box, they never go in. Not impressed at all!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We put one upstairs and one downstairs. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 because some of our windows have wood slats separating the panes and the panes are smaller than the Buster so we attached it to the side of the refrigerator that faces the window. It works just as well there and is a little more out of sight. There were tons of bugs in the house and within 24 hours of putting up the Buster, there 2-3 on both levels of the house. As soon as I figure out where to put it, I am going to buy one for my grandparents.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The ladybug buster, redused the beatles in my bed room, I canot find how they are geeting into my home. Since I placed the in my bedroom, they have vanished.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
didn't see many bugs in trap but tons on window sills and floor. not sure that this did very much to decrease amount of bugs.....am willing to concede that we just have a bazillion bugs and need these traps on every window......right now we have 6 traps. should try it and come to your own conclusion, we just might have too many for these traps to really be effective
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The product was easy to use. Clean window, peel strips, attach. However it is now 2 months later and it looks like the bugs are coming out of the traps???
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product is advertised as a lure and trap for Asian ladybeetles, a useful insect in gardens, but one which likes to winter inside and becomes an annoying pest. Apparently some of the beetles are immune to the material used as a lure, so it has only reduced the total of beetles divebombing us by maybe 2/3. The mfr recommends attaching it to a window, but since electric lights or mirrors with electric lights seem far more attractive to these beetles, a version that could attach to a lamp shade might get them all.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
So far I have not caught I single bug in either of these traps. Any suggestions? They crawl around them but do not go in.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We bought it to use in a high window (25ft up) where the ladybugs seem to all get in. Thought we would just install it once and be done. There was no mention in the sales media about having to rewet the strip inside each week. Therefore, we are unable to use it since there's no way to get up to the high window each week.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have followed all directions, including reactivating the bait but not one lady bug has gone in the trap. They crawl all over it and around it but not in it. I will try another couple of weeks they I plan on retuning it.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I thought I'd found the answer to the annoying bugs invading my house. The product sounded so good, but is a big dissappointment. I've got lots of beatles climbing all around the ladybug buster, but they are all alive and thriving without ever using it. I did everything correctly as per your instructions, but it is a useless product. For the item to cost so much, it did nothing to help get rid of the bugs.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The family has tried everything to get rid of these biting ladybugs, so when I saw these, I thought "why not", and finally something that works! The invasion now has an answer. Of course, we have put some aside for warmer weather when the real test will begin, but for now they are doing the trick. Our only recommendation would be stronger sticky strips. It's nice to have our home back!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Expensive, continual weekly maintenance for no reward. Two have been installed in my home for about 3 weeks. Not a single dead ladybug in either trap yet. Disappointed!

We have a big problem with lady bugs. Thousands. We got this to try there are just a few now much much better.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I tried to use it over a window (won't fit on window pane) on tile wall. It fell off next day and spilled powder all over. No bugs attracted. I was surprised by need to re-hydrate bait once a week - no mention of that in catalogue.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We live in the country and there are asian beetles everywhere in the fall...even in our house. Anything what works to decrease numbers of these annoying bugs is a real success for us.
The only problem we had is that the adhesive to mount it did not work for long.

It reduces but not eliminates the problem.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I first bought this product last spring and within 2 weeks all the lady bugs were gone. My parents' extra sunny living was plagued with lady bugs and not even very expensive professional de-bugging worked! Every time I visited I vacuumed up dead (and live) bugs only to find more a few hours later. After about 8 months I took the old one down as I noticed some bugs. The product is advertised to last 2 years--think that is unrealistic. So, I put up a new one and once again no more bugs. (I recommend clearer instructions, though.)
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The ladybug buster has been in the window for several days and even though there have been dozens of ladybugs, there is not one in the trap. All instructions were carefully followed in setting it up.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have just vacuumed about 50 ladybugs (actually Asian lady beetles, the ones that move inside) from the small bedroom in which this ridiculously expensive little plastic box was mounted. Four were sitting right on it, showing not the slightest inclination to enter it. This box does absolutely nothing to reduce ladybug populations in your house. Furthermore, it doesn't fit standard window panes -- be sure to check the measurements of your panes before ordering it or you will have to build a little clear plastic tape "ramp" for the ladybugs to cross. [...]don't waste your money!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This year there was a surprise cold snap but the window that I installed the trap never needed to have the bugs vacuumed up. So far it seems to work very well but I'd like one more year before I buy more to cover the whole house.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I already reviewed this product last fall. I was thrilled with it all winter.
Well here come the disgusting things again. I checked the lure on the one installed last year and it seemed to have a little left in it, so I soaked it. And once again, the nasty things are making their way to the trap and disappearing.
I have new ones ready to install, when this one gets used up. This is a fantastic product. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed with it, unless they didn't do it right, somehow.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The vacation house we bought was heavily infected. The first unit was (is)about 90% effective in the room where we installed it, so we have bought two more for other parts of the house. You have to remember to "refresh" the element by soaking in water - kind of a nuisance, and a bit messy. We'll be interested in seeing if it remains effective over time.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Don't know if this product works as well in office or professional buildings, but it is great in the home. We had a terrible infestation of lady bugs. In some rooms, almost an 1/8" on some window sills. Now, we find at most 1 or 2. It obviuosly works well and is unobtrusive when put in the corner of a window. We'll definitely get more of these for use at our cottage.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Too many lady bugs!!!Help!!!

It just plain works - no lady bugs at all.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I do not see any ladybugs. I don't know if they have not shown up this year yet, or if they are all in the trap. It is in the room that always seemed to have lady bugs. So far, so good!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
These bugs bite! I haven't seen one since I put it up.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I put this bug catcher in my son's room. There were alot of ladybugs flying around and with in a day the bugs were gone. As a matter of fact I haven't saw any in the house. Great product I purchased two, one for my mom.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I had so many bugs they were falling in my my hot chocolate, and I bit into one thinking it was a marshmallow. Beleive me they don't taste good.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I made a believer out of my husband! When I purchased this ladybug buster, my husband laughed. Since using this buster, he is not laughing any more because it does work!!!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
There were a lot of beetles for awhile, but now they have decreased-wether it is the natural life cycle of the bug hotel, can't be sure. However, I could see the inside 'dust' changing shape. so there must have been some activity inside the 'hotel'.

Thus far have not found that the ladybugs are being trapped in the container....still a lot of bugs at the end of each day on the floor in the are where I have the asian ladybugs confined and I have had it in use for over 2 weeks...will give it more time, but do not believe it does as advertised.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Two problems I found with using this product. One it must be activated weekly to be effective. Two it must be placed up where the lady bugs are coming into the home. This is at the peak of our prow window which is to high for me to reach. I had to mount it on a lower window. So we will see if it will work as is. I am hopeful.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I had to remove the window grid for it to fit in the corner as instructed.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
the thing great about it is that it works and I will tell all my friends.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We put it in a upper window but have not seen alot of ladybugs being lured to the trap or going inside. They seem to travel around it.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We live in a Victorian home built in 1907. There are lots of cracks and places for ladybugs to get in. We've lived in our home now for 5 years and have dealt with a massive ladybug infestation year after year. This year we adopted a 10 year old girl and she's terrified of ALL bugs. Perfect, right? We put one on the second floor and one on the first floor, and since she's been here...she's only seen ONE!! Excellent product! I hope you never discontinue it!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Instructions were difficult to follow--asked my husband to follow and affix to the window. However, once affixed, it is easy to maintain--a simple dip in water. I still find lady bugs but the number has been reduced by about 95%.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Thought it was going to solve major problem with ladybugs 2 weeks and still no result. called manuf. said possible plants are problem. apparatus fell off window and spewed white powder all over the furniture...quite a mess. Spent [$] and I don't think they're working period. bought 2 one for each end of living room---lots of windows---small house 1700 sq. ft. still didn't work...

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have been dealing with lady bugs for years in a sunny corner bedroom but since this trap was installed they have virtually disappeared! Since the reviews were 50/50, I figured it was worth a try and I'm glad I did!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
No ladybugs in sight since we put it up. So far, it is doing the trick!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
My one-year old log cabin was invaded by asian ladybugs last fall. I put a ladybug buster on a window that was very popular with the ladybugs and after two weeks the ladybugs are still not venturing into the ladybug buster. I think [$] is a bit steep for a product that doesn't work.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The product looks nice but simply does not work for us in the home. We follow the directions etc. but have found no lady bugs in the trap. I would definitely not buy this product.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
A tight fit when put in a window that has panes. Unable to get the wand out without taking the unit down. Would suggest velco instead of tape for the mounting. Disappointed that it takes weekly attention ( must soak the wand that attracts the little critters for several hours)
First week no lady bugs second week their back!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The product has not eliminated the pests as was described.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
Did not attract any of the Japanese (ladybug) beetles at all. The only way bugs got into it was if I manually pushed them into the holes. I am returning these in the mail as of tomorrow for a full refund.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I followed all the directions to the letter and still have plenty of ladybugs. [$] for two traps was too much to spend for a losing cause.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have numerous Asian ladybugs and they crawl on the trap but never in it. It is ineffective

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The directions were easy to follow and it was easy to install. It just didn't work. It was placed in the midst of a large group of ladybugs, but the lady bugs did not go anywhere near it for some time. Much later a few randomly crawled on it, but didn't seem attracted by it. None have gone into the trap and I have had it up now for over a month. I have replenished the lure a second time and I still have had no results. I bought two because our infestation is significant, but the second one remains in its package.

This product did not catch on indoor beetle with hundreds crawling on the box.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We put this product where we have the most problems with Lady bugs and it is really working.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We used this product in an attempt to rid our upstairs rooms of Ladybugs. It did not work. The ladybugs just continue to thrive, all around the trap.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have high hopes for this product. But the tape didnot stick well and when it fell alot of the powder came out. Because it is expensive I collected the powder and put most of it back into the container. Are replacements avalable?
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I would never have believed there would be a solution to the Asian ladybug problem. But this product works! Perhaps not 100%, but my house has gone from literally thousands of ladybugs to less than a dozen per floor. I have one trap on the main floor and one on the lower level. Perhaps more traps next year? Thanks for a great product!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We bought two of these hoping to reduce the number of ladybugs, we had them installed for over a month and there is NOT ONE ladybug in them, while there are hundreds in the rooms where they are installed. Will return for refund.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product REALLY WORKS. I can tell when the lure needs refreshing (soak in water) because I will start seeing the little nasties flying around again, when I come home and turn on the lights.
The only drawback I found was that the lure has a tendency to get moldy. When I wrote to Gardener's Supply about the problem I was answered within 24 hours and advised to let the lure dry out completely between soakings.
The lure is difficult to remove for me because I have arthritic hands, but since I CAN do it, it should be easy for most people.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I have followed the installation instructions scrupulously and now that we are reaching the end of the Asian beetle invasion, I regret to say that not a single one ended in the traps you provided. Unfortunately, the same conclusions apply to the fly traps. I shall return them, expecting full refund. In the meantime, I have spent hours vacuuming as I did in the past.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We have asian bettles and the buster doesn't seem to be catching anything. I have soaked the attactent and still nothing. I have the cluster fly buster and it gets many of the flys. So far I am not imprssed with lady bug buster.
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
We live in a heavily forested area in North Eastern US, and over the last couple years have not even been able to just go in and out of the house without bringing in lady bugs; or these bugs getting through the smallest cracks and crevices. This stuff really works! We have found less and less lady bugs in our home! This is a genius invention, and environmentally friendly too!
Comments about Ladybug Buster:
The lure needs to be soaked weekly to activate, it's difficult to remove and one of the two I purchased has mold growing on the bait.
I don't see any lady bugs inside and the traps have been out and activated for weeks during prime season.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
This product works wonderfully. Easy to install and fairly unobtrusive. Finally, after years of trying to rid the house of ladybugs, something that actually works.

Comments about Ladybug Buster:
I was skeptical at first; but decided to buy just one to see how effective it was. Now I wished I would have purchased two additional! I have 3 large bay windows and that is where they all hang out, trying to get outdoors and moved toward the light. Just having one to install, I was surprised how effective it worked! I will be purchasing two more before the cold weather returns as that is when they will return to the indoors and I will be waiting!
