you'll need predator nematodes for that. ladybugs may eat a few but the larvae of the gnats live beneath the soil.

don't use margerine tub to keep lbs in fridge, your wife will make some real unpleasent noises right before she starts chewing your ass, and you have to go herd 200 lbs out of the kitchen

I would be careful, i think the praying mantis' might eat your ladybugs. I have looked into praying mantis' for my "regular garden" and i read that they can be detrimental to other beneficial bugs like ladybugs. Mantis' are the ultimate predator and will eat anything, unfortunately, some bugs are too small for mantis' but perfect for ladybugs. Finding the perfect ecosystem harmony is the key.

After trying my first batch of lady bugs, I am not too happy.I put them on just as i got dark, maybe a few hundred a night until they were gone, and the stupid things just ran in circles along the top edge of the pot.Very few went up the main stem and did something.So after the first night I started flinging them into the plants themselves, some stayed on there for a day or 2 but I swear they didn't look for bugs to eat or anything they just hung out.

I think I got a bad batch O' lady bugs... mentally challenged or something..
