Will they fly around immediately after release? Also, how bad would it be if we released them indoors?

no they don't fly around right away but you can mix a little sugar and warm water and spy them so there wings get sticky

It totally depends on your room. And when you release them. I grow indoors but in one room only I had spider mites. I released 1500 of them. Do it at dusk or when the lights go out and they will not fly as much. Look on youtube, there are a few good vids that show you how to build them a home so they dont fly away. Honestly, most of mine ended up in a corner of the room and died the first few days even after building the home. I ended up using a spray because they didnt work

I wouldnt release them all indoors if its your home. Indoors is fine if you have a grow room or greenhouse. Outdoors, mist the plants with water and wait till evening when the sun is going down. They will disperse looking for food and water. If the plants are wet, they will stick around and lay eggs, but if not, they will fly off looking for water and food. Best investment I've made in my aquaponic garden yet!

They do fly right away and my son releases them "by accident" inside every year. This will be year 3. They usually hang in the windows but do fly around. Its fun actually.

I put some out in our unheated garage and so far they are still sticky. Haven't seen mice but caught several bugs. LOL

In my case,I would not put them indoors.To big and heavy,you have to have a hugh room.Lifting the chair might be a problem too.

Lol. Yes. They're very sensitive. You can adjust motion sensitivity, though. Mone triggers for insects, so mice shouldn't be an issue.

Once you let them go, there is no control over their trajectory. They will ascend quickly once fully ignited. As long as they go up far enough to clear the tree and roof tops then they will not descend until they are going out. You should choose your launch site carefully. Preferably over water.

Sadly, I did not have much luck with them. They are supposed to hatch in about 24 hours. They are not visible for about 3 days after that. I did hatch them years ago, and they worked well for my class. It's possible the area was too chilly (about 70 degrees F.)

They work for any flying or jumping bug. It's a wonderful alternative to chemicals. They are very sticky so be careful when handling them.

I don't think it would work out well, they are light so they would probably just fall over, maybe on concrete if the wind isn't blowing.

I am concerned about the same thing. I don't want them to arrive dead. Did you hear anything back about this or should I look elsewhere?

Hi Tony, I can't say nothing yet! I am planning to use them in my next fly (long 11 hours overseas) and hope I did a good buy !! Sorry I can' t say , will see ......

These are very fast. Going over a bump our root at full speed will result in the rc going airborne. You may have some problems hitting trees resulting in parts breaking. They are highly repairable similar to what you would but at a hobby store. I have modified one of mine after things falling off.

You can adjust it so that they are actually gliding, but ours made a horribly loud noise when you adjust it to glide and would sometimes slip back into the other settings.

I think they will be fine however, my 9 year only hits them in our indoor net. Not sure how they would hold up outside and being hit by older kids. Sorry, I wish I was more help.

I don't know about the sweat because I use them while stationary. About the bouncing, I think they will probably bounce quite a bit unless you use them overhead. I use them behind my neck and they shift around some that way.

I have tried them in a .12g gun. They do not travel as quickly or as far as .12g BBs, but they appear to fly straighter and are impacted less by wind.

Yes most likely. They are not heavy squares so any heavy movement, especially on carpet, will likely move them.
