Ladybugs - Application

Releasing ladybugs in your garden, greenhouse, or grow room is simple. Follow these simple steps for the best possible results:

Where to Use

Ladybugs are effective anywhere soft-bodied pests are present — outdoor gardens, greenhouses, indoor grows, lawns, orchards, vineyards, container plants, rooftop gardens, and interiorscapes.

Step-by-Step Release Instructions

Step 1 — Choose the Right Time: Release indoors at any time. For outdoor releases, choose the early morning, evening, or an overcast day.

Step 2 — Prepare Your Plants: Mist the leaves of infested plants with water before releasing. Moisture provides drinking water for ladybugs arriving from transit, encourages them to explore and stay, and signals a healthy habitat. It also improves conditions for immediate reproduction.

Step 3 — Release at the Base: Open the bag and gently release ladybugs at the base of plants or in low branch crotches near pest activity.

Step 4 — Don't Be Alarmed by Stillness: Newly released ladybugs may sit still for 15–30 minutes as they acclimate to their new environment.

Step 5 — Repeat Throughout the Season: For sustained control, introduce ladybugs multiple times throughout the growing season.
