Ladybugs – Where to Buy
Q: Any suggestions on where I can find ladybugs for sale? I want to stay away from chemicals as much as I can
A: In general, buying and releasing ladybugs is not effective for controlling insects. They tend to disperse widely and rapidly after release; they don’t stay around the original site. It’s better to let the native population of these beneficial insects build up as you concurrently blast the bad bugs off your plants with water.
