- All of our insect species are pests that require specialized knowledge for successful rearing and use.
Therefore we only sell them to companies, academic institutions, and
government
agencies having personnel trained and equipped to handle them. Sorry,
we do not sell to individuals.
- Eggs are
provided in lots of 1000. Substantial discounts are given for higher
volumes as well as for multiple shipments and standing orders. Our
minimum order for eggs is only $40 ($28 for Aedes). For other stages, the
minimum order is $50. We ship more than the requested number of
insects to
account for loss of viability in shipment.
- As
a convenience to our customers, we can sell small quantities (2 liters
or less) of prepared artificial diets in cups, multi-cell trays, or
blocks. For diet mixes in quantities of 10 liters or more, we recommend
Southland Products Inc. (870-265-3747).
- Most orders for Lepidoptera or Aedes eggs received
before 1 pm EST can be shipped same day. Other species or
stages may require some lead time.
Approximate lead times are provided in the pricing sheet. We can ship Lepidoptera larvae of any
instar on artificial diet. Call us with
your special needs.
- Most
insects are shipped in insulated cartons via
FedEx Priority overnight. There is a flat $5.00 packing charge per
order for insulated packaging. Cold packs or warm packs may be added
depending on the season. We charge no more for shipping than
Fedex charges us. We can use your Fedex account number if you wish.
- Master Card and Visa, as well as company or institutional
purchase orders are accepted.
- BENZON RESEARCH NO LONGER
SHIPS INSECTS OUT OF THE USA. Required pre-shipment inspections, along with frequent delays obtaining customs
clearances have made overseas shipments of live insects impractical.
