Ladybugs - Application

Where to Use

Ladybugs are effective anywhere soft-bodied pests are present: outdoor gardens, greenhouses, indoor grows, lawns, orchards, vineyards, container plants, rooftop gardens, and interiorscapes.

Application Methods

• Water before release. Lightly water the planting area beforehand to provide moisture and improve release conditions. Avoid heavy overhead watering immediately after release.
• Release at dusk or after dark. Low light helps ladybugs stay in the release area.
• Release near active pests. Place ladybugs directly at the base of affected plants or on leaves where aphids are visible, rather than scattering them broadly.
• Release in small batches across the area rather than dumping the whole container in one spot, so coverage is even.
