I released a couple packs of ladybugs around my garden and roses a few years ago. The roses had a bunch of aphids and there were bugs all over the garden. 2 days later not a single ladybug to be found but the aphids were still all over the roses. I went back to neem. It works and doesn't fly away. I wouldn't trust ladybugs to take care of your bug problems. Spray some neem.
I put just one ladybug on it yesterday and it was there all day yesterday and still there today and a 2nd ladybug landed on my plant and is still there that must be a good sign but ya id like to try neem oil i just cant find any i heard dawn dish soap works good to i was going to spray my plants last night with dawn soap and water but the ladybug was still therr so left it when they leave ill spray more

ive also seen some kind of tape, that you put round the pot and they should not be able to cross it... never tried it, quite expensive though.
Oh really ya i bet it aint cheap but it was only one morning i saw on 2 leafs had 2 holes each one leaf was right against the top of the pot but the 2nd was above the other leaf not sure how slug gets up there but the must have a way crafty slimy fuckers haha but i javent had any issues with them since
Yep ladybug is gone and this morning theres new bug activity tiny holes in a small group on the top leaves ill take some pics in few mins

How are you catching these bugs?

thats a gnat, they cant do shit to the leaves, but they multiply in the soil, and if there are too many larvas, they can fuck up your roots, but were talking bout huge infestation

These are not Gnats.
they are GREENFLY as I’ve already told him
In his other big thread.
I’ve also questioned how he’s getting all these bugs and if he’s not outdoor then he needs to sort his shit out lol.
