Any 1 know where I can buy some ladybugs in Genesee County. My buddy in Cali got his from Ace Hardware but I've been calling around and can't find any. Most of the nurserys are closed right now so I'll call them tomorrow. My buddy got 2000 for 5 dollars and all his spider mites are gone. I need some badly mighty wash, insect soap, and alcohol mixture isn't working.

My ladybugs and praying mantis egg cases arrived today from Hirt's. It is raining hard so I'm putting them in the fridge for now. Hubby goes in for surgery tomorrow and we will be back on Thursday. They should be ok in the fridge, right? I have never used ladybugs or mantis before, so any advice would be welcome, and sorry Pimp, hope u don't mind me posting this on your thread...

yup online mail order.they never worked for me btw its not really the ladybugs that do the work its the larva they look like a orange and black alligator the larva eat more bugs than the adults . azamax,hot shot strips, murphys oil soap mixed with water , mighty wash, hot pepper spray, and floramite are what i would use. floramite being the last one.a lot of people talk shit about hot shot strips but as long as they are fresh they work good. it says on the pack works for 4 months but I say about a month and you need a few of them. if they are not flowering wash them off in the shower.
