Good:D.

Yes the Lady Bugs will eat those mites. :hubba:

yeah ladybugs are good for your grow, they also eat spidermite's, but only if there isnt any other infestation you have. i dont know if i can buy ladybugs here int he uk, can i??? if i suffer from any kind of infestation, that will be my solution, 100%.

Yes they love aphids also but some bugs look like lady bugs but are really harmfull they are usually smaller and not as round as a ladybug. Make sure you can tell them apart. Slim

i would look for aphids just lady bugs usually find aphids, and they destroy a crop, but lady bugs are good but id make sure they are lady bugs

you can buy them commercially... to disperse them, just put the box down in the middle of the infected crop, and they will just leave the box on their own and take care of the problem. many will keep migrating up to the light and die:shocked: , but the rest will go to work.:D

Lady bugs are great....... Till they fly into the light and your sweeping up lots of bodies daily. Other than that they are great!!!!


Stunzeed..

i have two types of ladybugs here, and its kinda hard to tell them apart. first one is your ordinary garden variety, can tell by thier spots and thier color. this one is a lighter color orange, with smaller black spots, and is harmless. now this second one is of the asian variety, , they are a burnt orange color, with larger, more defined, blacker spots, and these little mutants bite very hard, and leave behind a nasty burn , and a welt where they've bitten you. both seem fine in my outside garden, as well as my indoor. they have thier ways of getting in...
