Has anyone used ladybugs for control of insects in their greenhouse?

Douglas Hunt on Oct 26, 2012I know people who have bought ladybugs to control an aphid situation. They're highly effective, but tend to disperse when the job is done.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Oct 26, 2012A number of years ago I bought a bag and turned them loose in my greenhouse...the helped initially bet then either moved on of died off as there food source diminished. My green house was a long series of PVC hoops with plastic sheeting over the top. If you have operable windows they my leave by that route. My primary pest was not aphids but slugs...once I got my watering schedule dialed in I did not have as much trouble.Helpful Reply
