1500 LIVE Ladybugs! Aphid Control with Beneficial Insects | How to release ladybugs | Guten Yardening
In this video we show you how we release and use lady bugs as an allnatural, organic method of removing an aphid infestation.

One biological control that you can use against garden pests like aphids, fruit flies, and mites is to bring in ladybugs (ladybirds) to your garden or growing space.

These soldier insects, as some call them, feed primarily on these softbodied pests, and can help to eliminate infestations on your vegetables.

We use a multipronged allnatural, organic approach when dealing with pests in our garden. In addition to the natural pesticide Diatomaceous Earth (DE), we are adding these ladybugs on to our vegetables. They are an addition we have made to our grow tent previously (several years ago) when we had an aphid issue, and we had a great deal of success then, so we expect nothing less now.

We purchased 1500 ladybugs and allowed them to warm up for a few minutes after removing them from the refrigerator where we stored them upon arrival in the mail. When they arrive, they are hibernating and moving very little. After only a few minutes, they spring “back to life” and begin moving around quickly within their packaging. It is important to place them in your garden as quickly as possible and release them there once you have removed them from the refrigerator.

Because we are releasing these insects indoors in a confined growing space, we are not concerned with them flying away, but please note, if you are releasing them in your outdoor garden, you should release them at night instead of during the day so they do not fly away immediately.

The ladybugs should stay around and do their job as long as there is food available to them, like those pesky aphids that they love so much.

Thank you for watching!
