I was having a problem with aphids in the greenhouse until i found a couple of ladybirds outside and brought them in.
WOW watch them go.
2 Ladybirds are clearing the whole greenhouse in about a week
Fantastic. ;D ;D

Wow! Hard little workers aren't they? Did the same for my peppers on the kitchen windowsill to great effect. ;D

Bully for you!

The book says '5 Ladybirds per plant' to be effective.
