Seriously. They were all over in our living room, lol. I just kept picking them up and putting them back on the plants. I had to watch where I stepped too, lol.

They need food and water. If a small pest population exists? String a few raisins on a thread. As well as piece of sponge. Hang in the upper levels of your plants. 2-3 raisins and piece of wet sponge per plant. LOL.

I did. But the RH in my living room is below 10% a lot. It is right now actually. So are my grow areas too in my bedroom upstairs. I misted the plants, but it wasn't enough.

I had praying mantis too once and they wanted it more humid too. They were cool though.

And you are saying you have pests in your house? 10% RH? I'm not understanding.
 
That's a baby ladybug. I hope you didn't kill it . Cool find tho . I will post a picture. PS The picture also shows how ladybugs are made

One of those fuckers we’re on Grandmother’s nasturtiums and it bit me. I don’t like it. I’ve been carrying this emotional trauma for 45 years. :)

I had aphids on some houseplants so I tried the ladybugs. I had a pot plant in my living room that I put the praying mantis on.

And I'm in CO. It's dry here, like the desert.

A dusting of food grade diatomaceous earth if indoors. Wait 2-3 days and rinse it off.
