Ladybugs

Ladybugs are an excellent beneficial insect and the native ones do not bite or go into your home. They only eat aphids and other soft bodied pest insects and insect eggs. Adults are orange and black beetles that feed on aphids, mites, scales, thrips, whiteflies and beneficial insect food. Adult ladies feed primary at night and lay eggs. Eggs are white or yellow ovals and are laid in clusters on the undersides of your leaves. Since the larvae have no wings, they remain on your plants, keeping control of pests. Larvae are black and orange alligator shaped. Both the adult and larvae stage are great general pest controllers. Look not for the ladies but to see your pest problems disappear!

Upon receipt, place your 'Ladies' in the fridge and release only in the evening after watering the area. Place a small dish of water in your garden to help keep the ladybugs and other native insects close to your plants, especially in this heat we’ve been having.
