Biological Pest Control

Did you know that releasing ladybugs in your yard can help control pests and protect your plants? Ladybugs are natural predators of aphids and other soft-bodied insects, which can harm your trees and plants.

To release ladybugs successfully, follow these steps:

1. Water your plants before releasing the ladybugs to make sure they have enough moisture.

2. Release the ladybugs in the early evening or on a cloudy day when the temperature is cooler.

3. Spread the ladybugs throughout your yard, making sure they have access to your plants.

4. Avoid using pesticides or insecticides that can harm the ladybugs.

PRO TIP

5. Use a sugar water mixture prior to release so their wings stay shut for the first few days and they have a chance to settle into their new area.

6.) Yes, you can refrigerate the lady bugs but this also reduces the length of their life please set them free as soon as practical.

By releasing ladybugs into your yard, you can control pests without harming the environment. Plus, it's a fun activity for kids and adults alike! Give it a try and watch your plants thrive. 🌱🐞#LadybugsForTheWin #ProtectYourPlants #NaturalPestControl
