Lady bugs not doing anything?

[sakhalchea]

Ok my plants are heavily infested, i saw gnat flys,spiders ( black widows and daddy long leggs ) also i seen black ants and some other bugs cuz they were out door brought indoor) so i bought 1500 lady bugs, and realeased like probably 400 of them. The next day i look not 1 was on the plant. They was up the cieling having an orgy. Looks like they made friends with the spidee mites or something

you need to order some praying mantis probally they will eat the shit out of those bugs mabey not the spiders though.

the lady bugs are actually doing something, its like they are saving them as a food supply. they got rid of most of the gnat flys and the only bug on my soil now is black ants. don't know how to get rid of them though.

the ladybugs only eat fairly small bugs ...spidermites for sure. To tell you the truth daddy long legs and normal house spiders are no harm to your plants...but I just don't like hanging around them. lol

Black ants...I have had the best luck with Terro brand liquid ant baits. It is like a gel type insect killer.

Next time you buy LB sit the bag on a wet sponge so when they awake they will first drink water and hydrate, then as you release them, spray them with a mix of soda pop and water. That way there wings will be glued shut for a few days.

spiders eat bugs spider mites are no good. Neem Oil should get you outta the woods.

Have ya ever tried TangleFoot?(http://www.tanglefoot.com/products/barrier.htm)

I have used it on some fruit trees/containers to stop ants from herding/harvesting aphids. Might work to put a 1/2-1" ring around the base of your ladies/containers to stop anything crawling up. One thing though... it is sticky stuff. Pain to get off. Hope ya get it worked out.

Floramite WILL kill all the spidermites/eggs. Are You in flower? If your not, Get some floramite and mix 3ml/gal. and dip/spray them thoughly right when the lights go off. The next day get a Pyrethrum fogger and let her go when the lights are off. Should solve all your bug problems.

ants pose no threat to your plants.

but if you still want to kill them then borax + honey is the best
