Ladybird Plant Care · no sprays
What's eating your plants?
Pick the pest and we'll show you the bug, mite or nematode that eats it. No chemicals, nothing left behind for the birds and bees.
For aphids, send in
Ladybird and lacewing larvae eat aphids by the hundred, and aphid midge larvae do the same job on roses and in the greenhouse.
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For vine weevil, send in
Microscopic nematodes watered into the pot find the C-shaped grubs in the compost before they eat through the roots.
Vine Weevil Control Nematodes - Steinernema kraussei
From £13.20
Fruit & Veg Protection Nematodes
From £9.90
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For slugs, send in
Watered onto moist soil, the nematodes go after slugs below the surface, where pellets never reach and hedgehogs stay safe.
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For fungus gnats, send in
The flies are only the adults. Nematodes and Hypoaspis mites deal with the larvae in the compost, and sticky traps catch the rest.
Fungus Gnat & Sciarid Fly Nematodes
From £9.90
Hypoaspis Mites (Stratiolaelaps scimitus)
From £25.00
Mini Yellow Eco Traps
£4.50
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.

£18.00
Red Spider Mite Slow release sachets (Amblyseius Andersoni)
From £6.00
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For whitefly, send in
Encarsia is a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in whitefly scales. Yellow traps show you when numbers are building.
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For lawn grubs, send in
Leatherjackets and chafer grubs are dealt with by nematodes watered into the lawn while the soil is still warm.
Live insects and nematodes are posted fresh by Ladybird Plant Care, separately from any seed order.
For thrips, send in
Predatory mites in slow-release sachets keep thrips down over several weeks; Orius bugs hunt the adults.

Our story
From a Norfolk field to your door
Every seed we recommend has been chosen by people who actually grow these flowers, right here at Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden in Norfolk. We know which varieties thrive in UK conditions and which are genuinely worth a gardener's time.
We grow, dry and harvest our flowers by hand on the farm. When it comes to choosing which seeds to sell, we choose as growers, not as retailers.
