Overview
DMV Beneficials has the ultimate goal of making beneficial insects financially accessible. We recognized the biggest barrier to purchasing beneficial insects was the shipping cost, which is so expensive due to required overnight shipping. To remedy this, we collect individual orders and submit one bulk order. This allows us to split the shipping cost between everyone who orders and drives the shipping cost down to about $5-$10 per person.
The beneficial insects are not shipped to individual residences. Instead, they are shipped to our volunteers and sorted. On the day the beneficial insects are delivered, lovingly called “Bug Day”, you pick up your order from your chapter’s specified pick up location. Read the information below to get more details.
When are deliveries?
Please contact your specific chapter to find out their order schedule!
How do I place an order?
Each chapter has their own individualized ordering process. When you contact your specific chapter, they can guide you through their customized ordering process.
How do I pay?
Each chapter has their own payment system. Typically, payments can be made using Venmo or a similar system. Please use Friends and Family since we do not make a profit off of the orders you place.

Can I cancel my order?
You can cancel your order for a full refund at any time before 5PM on bug delivery day. If it is past that time, a full refund may not be possible unless the bugs can be reallocated to a different group member. However, if there are special circumstances please reach out to us and we will do our best to help you!
Each chapter has their own pick up locations with specific times. Please remember that this is an all-volunteer organization! Chapters can only have pick up locations thanks to the help of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering as a pick up location, please contact your chapter coordinator!
How do I get my bugs?
Before Bug Day, someone will confirm your pick-up location. If you are picking up from one of our distributors, they will contact you on Bug Day with pick-up details.
