LadyBugs Vs Pesticides???

Depends on what ur tryin to get rid off. Of course organic is always better then pesticide but lady bugs don't do the job 100%. They helped get rid of my mites but I still found thrips last after havin ladys in there for a few weeks so they don't eat everything. Id suggest u release some ladys bugs and use neem oil once a week so keep bugs away. Neem oil didn't harm my lady bugs. If u already have a bug problem then id recommend some kind of pesticide depending on how serious it is. Monterey garden spray is a very good organic pesticide
Also after letting the lady bugs lose in my garden, like 75% of them disappeared so only like a handful are actually chillin on the plants. I must have released aleast a couple hundred over 2 weeks. Im pretty sure many got out and the rest are just in all the dark spots like under the pots and stuff. So add extra!

I'm trying an organic pesticide tonight to deal with some spider mites, I'll let you know the results.
