Anyone use lady bugs?

nope
i havent heard of any places that sell predator bugs ..
but it really works from what ive heard.
i know USA has them
but its very expensive from memory.

they eat mainly aphids and scale...i dont think they eat catarpillars.

but if u have the money, u might as well give it a try
apparently when you do, you dont have to ever spray insecticide again
