Aphid control · Guide

Ladybugs for aphids.

Aphids cluster on tender new growth, deposit sticky honeydew, and curl leaves. Adult ladybugs are one of the most commonly used beneficial insects to help bring aphid pressure under control — paired with a thoughtful release plan.

Where ladybugs help most

Soft-bodied infestations like aphids, mealybug crawlers, scale crawlers, and whitefly nymphs.

Release at dusk

Cool temperatures and low light reduce dispersal. Lightly mist plants first.

Stage your releases

For moderate-to-heavy pressure, release ~30–50% now and refrigerate the rest for follow-up over 5–7 days.

Pair with lacewings for variety

Where pests are mixed (aphids + thrips + mites), pair ladybugs with green lacewings.
