Yes they do, but that sugar water or sugar water solution(1/2 water, 1/2 pop- coke, pepsi, etc...) only holds for about a week then you have to spray them again. Just make sure that they are real lady bugs and not Japanese beatles, can't stress that enough.

Bennificial Lady Bugs (Red with black spots) eat bad bugs that eat and destroy your plants, like spider mites.
Japanese Beatles (Yellow or Orange with black spots) eat every fucking thing; spider mites and your plants. BAD!BAD!BAD!!!!!!
