bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Lady Bugs And Woolly Aphids

Last night I noticed that two lady bugs (they're everywhere this year) had entered my house. Instead of killing them or taking them outside, I decided to introduce them to my Fukien Tea. A few weeks ago I noticed that my Tea was being bothered by some woolly aphids. For the past few weeks I have been spraying with a mild insecticide every 4 days or so. Tree AND aphids continue to thrive.

Any thoughts on using lady bugs as a natural insecticide? As much as lady bugs seem to enjoy the bug carcasses on the windshield of my Jeep, they also seem to be enjoying the aphids on the Tea.
