Ladybugs eating Aphids, Aphid Control without pesticides. How to completely remove aphids

If you have aphids damaging your plants, then Ladybugs will hunt them down and eat them at a rate of up to 50 aphids per day per ladybug.

It's best to start your Ladybug population early in the year, but you can get them to release in your garden or on your property all summer long.

I purchased my ladybugs from a source on amazon. They arrived in good health and ready to go and eat some aphids. If you'd like to get some for your own property, this is an affiliate link to the seller I used:

The ladybugs arrived in a vented box, and were in mesh bags. The seller included plastic tubs with vented lids so you can transfer your ladybugs into those. I did not do that.
I used the mesh bags as they were. The string at the top is what I used to tie off the bags to the infested plants.
Then I made small cuts into the mesh bag and the ladybugs quickly found those openings and began their aphid hunting right away.
I found it to be very effective to release them an hour before sunset.
The ladybugs spread out to every single plant, and if they don't find aphids or other resources, will fly to other locations.

Some ladybugs will remain on your property and reproduce. So long as you have enough habitat and resources for them, they will be doing their job right on your property.

If you have poor habitat, or low resources for the ladybugs you can expect them to fly off and find better habitat elsewhere.

It's important to get the correct species of ladybug, they are not all the same.
