    I discovered this the fuckin hard way, bought a container of ladybugs and distributed them along my various plants getting sapped by aphids. Next morning, only the goddamn aphids remained…

      Did you cool them before you released them? Lowering their body temperature helps keep them arou d and on your plants to take the little fuckers out.

        Yeah, fridge for about 60 minutes. Didn’t seem to help

          Unfortunate. Seems like you got a rowdy bunch lol. If I recall right when I unleashed them on an aphid infestation I had them in there for like 2-3 hours. Idk I’d that would make a difference or not. A lot of them did peace out pretty soon after I let them loose, but a handful stayed around for a few days.
