Jan 12th I found that many of my basement plants were suddenly infested: http://www.fototime.com/D43C173E24B82AC/orig.jpg So I ordered some pest controllers as I'm not much for pesticides. On Jan 15th got this: http://www.fototime.com/7A2E64D1DFC2CA5/orig.jpg Which contained these: http://www.fototime.com/F02EE36828095F5/orig.jpg I sprinkled aprox 500 over the plants. Took a couple pix of them today: http://www.fototime.com/B36D9C4FFC33B01/orig.jpg http://www.fototime.com/686EF36E08D8788/orig.jpg The other 1000 or so I put in the fridge. And even though I don't think you are supposed to do it, am going to put several hundred in the freezer and see if they will live after a couple of weeks or not. Yesterday after putting them on the plants they mostly crawled around until the lights went off a few hours later. Today they seem to be right at home and not moving much. I can only hope that they get enough of the right stuff to eat & lay eggs. I don't have a lot of blossoms and think they need nectar & pollen, but maybe they don't. Should be interesting to see what happens. http://www.buglogical.com/ladybugs.shtml JohnT
