7850A Ladybugs (1500)

Qty.

$21.95

Everybody loves them

Ladybugs are fun to have around. In fact, many gardeners consider them good luck! Use to control aphids, mites, scales, mealybugs, and many other soft-bodied insects. 1000 Ladybugs are plenty for a greenhouse. A quart will do up to 2 acres. Extra can be refrigerated for a few weeks, then released as needed. If they try to fly away, you can spray their backs with soda pop. This glues their wings shut for a week or so, helping them stay close by.

Create a favorable home for your Beneficials ahead of time…
Reminder-- Beneficial Insects don't tolerate most pesticides very well, so it's very important not to apply residual pesticides (such as Malathion and Sevin) for at least a month before using them. While you're waiting out this month period use soapy water sprays (such as Safers) or Stiky Traps right up to the day you let out the beneficials. Also botanical sprays (derived from Pyrethrin and Rotenone, for example) can be used with a one week wait afterwards. The small amount of time you spend creating more favorable conditions for Beneficial Insects will be well worth your while!

Note: Sorry, not shipped to Canada or Hawaii.
