Ladybugs and their larvae are beneficial insects. They will consume aphids, mealy bugs, thrips and other “bad” bugs.
Using Ladybugs
-
Choose an area in your garden with aphids or other pests.
-
Water the area.
-
Release ladybugs after sundown (they will not fly away at night).
-
Place ladybugs in groups at base of infested plants. Ladybugs always crawl up.
Ladybug larvae
