Home Farm Ideas, I use them for my marijuana grow room. They work great but only the young ones really hunt and kill stuff. The adults just hang out In their colony,breed and nibble raisins lol. But the young ones will definitely take care of your problem if your willing to make a ladybug colony for them. If you just let them loose theyll just die off within a couple days.
Yes its a ladybug breeding colony lol. Had it going for almost'3 years now and I love it. Started using them because I bought a batch of cloned plants from someone and they were infested and it spread to the rest of mine. Ended up just killing 75% of that whole crop... But havent had an issue since
Works way better if you build them a colony. I use a plastic bin with a top that has holes they can get in and out of. I put a big wet sponge inside for their water source and raisins for the adults. The adults will breed like crazy, the babys will hunt and kill your mites and youll never have an issue..
The fact that ladybugs are such voracious hunters of aphids are one of the main reasons they have the name, and there is very strong evidence to support this. The story goes is that in the Middle Ages, farmers across Europe who had aphid problems would pray to the Virgin Mary for aid. The farmers believed that Mary would send the insects, garbed in colors similar to those she wore, to help the farmers by eating the aphids. Of course, it was just a case of predators seeking out their prey, but the people had no way of really knowing that. The evidence to support this tale? The following are all terms in different languages for the ladybug: Arca de la Mare de Deu - “Mother of God’s Ark” - Catalan Gallinetta de la Mare de Deu - “Mother of God’s Chicken” - Catalan Bubamara - “Mary’s Beetle” - Croatian Mariehøne - “Mary’s Hen” - Danish Onzer-lieve-vrouwe Beestje - “Our Dear Lady’s Little Creature” - Dutch Bete de la Vierge - “The Virgin’s Creature” - French Frauenkäferlein - “Our Lady’s Little Beetle” - German (Bohemia) Scarpa de la Madona - “The Madonna’s Shoe” - Italian (Turin) Jungfru Maria Nyckelpiga - “Virgin Mary’s Key Maid” - Swedish The other main reason ladybugs are named for the Virgin Mary is that the European variety happens to have seven spots, which people believed to symbolize the Virgin's Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows.
These orange insects are not Ladybugs. A Google search explains that these are called Asian Lady Beetles, an invasive species. Ladybugs have a red exoskeleton with 11 spots, while an Asian Lady Beetle has an orange and yellow exoskeleton with approximately 19 spots.
If you don't mind having suspicious white powder all over your plants, you can try sprinkling flour around the plant and rubbing the flour into the stem. I read somewhere that flour constipates them.
I'm so grateful for the video! I purchased praying mantis babies and I have not seen them in 2 months since they hatched. But i have seen a lot of ladybugs that came from somewhere in the neighborhood and they've been kicking butt! I have seen less aphids in my garden and I've only seen a few of the predators! I will be purchasing them in the future!
I just ordered a bunch. A lot are gone. But still have a ton. Larva and pupas. I’m just letting my yard long beans seed. Just went through a hurricane in Florida. And have a huge infestation
I just found a baby ladybug in my room! I seen a little black dot of something barely moving from the corner of my eye and when I looked closer, it turned out to be a baby ladybug!!! So, I captured her and put her in one of my Egyptian Flower Pots! I still don't know the name of the species of flower, but I know that it never dies, looks like a sonogram player and I see it in many Egyptian Papyrus/Drawings from the Ancient Egypt Temples. #WritingsOffTheWall
Use soapy water and spray leaves or wherever greenfly are only the aphids dont like soapy water and doesent affect any other insects also use beer in tubs for slugs and snails
The purdy channel I don’t like soapy water either so I don’t like spraying stuff like that on the leaves because I eat them. I think with the ladybugs it will be less work for me in the long run because their larva will still be around eating aphids as well:)
Marmaduke!!!! Larva Dew I like it. I have black aphids on my burning bush and (I looked it up but forgot the name already 😅) these bright green with black stripe fuzzy caterpillars eating my synonymous’!!!! I knew about the lady bugs but unsure we have a place around here to purchase and might have to do online.)
@@DjGrotask nigga you stupid or something? There are already Asian ladybugs in Europe, making it harder for the native ladybugs to survive, now you also want to import American ladybugs?
That's why he pit them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, before he put's them among his plants. The cold slows them down, where their not energetic enough to want to fly away. By the time, they warm up enough to consider flying away, they're already accustomed to their surroundings and have observed the aphids, which they hunger for, so the lady bugs decide to stay.
#Home Farm Ideas I read on the internet that many people are using natural products made from tobacco or even detergents used to wash dishes and even mineral oil-based products. Why use ladybugs instead of these products?
Yep, it will not kill them as long as she did not put them in the freezer. The point of doing this is to slow them down really slow and then when you release that I have a tendency to stay around because it’s already getting dark when you’re letting them out:) otherwise he would put them out and they would leave and was instantly.
The pacing of the bong bubbling was literally nauseating. Mega thumbs down. Tell whoever that was with the choking "larvadoo" at 7:58 to stay TF away while you're making videos, that was horrible.
Oh my god we have inexperienced grower with expensive growing equipment, mate if you have a aphid problem your plants are not healthy and trying to excrete extra nitrogen because if you did a little research on what attracts aphids they are attracted to plants that show a high nitrogen content, But also shocked me is that you went out and you bought livestock to solve your own mistakes.
And no, I've never tried to use ladybirds 🐞 to control aphids. I don't know whether there's anywhere near me that would even sell them, although they are available mail order.
I dont think that's good lady bug motivational kill music. Men at Work? Seriously?Jesus. How about some Pantera, Anthrax, or Megadeth...some hard core, death by consumption. Eating Aphids....kill, kill, kill!!!
Ladybugs aphid killers! They do not stand a chance!!! Do any of you use ladybugs in your gardens to control aphids?

Mike Frost I agree, the young ones work the best! Are you talking about actually making a colony just to get young ones? That would be a cool idea!!
Mike Frost if you could figure out a way to do it another really good bug that eats aphids is the hover fly larva:)
Yes its a ladybug breeding colony lol. Had it going for almost'3 years now and I love it. Started using them because I bought a batch of cloned plants from someone and they were infested and it spread to the rest of mine. Ended up just killing 75% of that whole crop... But havent had an issue since

Is there a link to a video that shows this lady bug colony?
@@machscga6238 auth right lady bug enthusiast? There’s something u dont see everyday :D
@@machscga6238 auth right unity baby
Just make sure no ants around as ants protect aphids from the bugs as the aphids are important for the colony
Bug life is weird
Imagine minding your own business, harvesting berries, and one day a giant tank shows up, and out comes a swarm of T-rexes
These aphids aren’t harvesting - they are literately sucking the life of plants.

My 3 yr old loved the video. He got to see what lady bugs eat. He caught one and we put it in my chili garden. Thank you for the video
Already put my plants as seedlings and it has aphids already!
same
How long do those lady lugs stay your garden? Do they stay and keep breeding? What do you do if they run out of aphids? Do you feed them raisins?
I hope I don't get aphids but if I do, I look forward to trying natural biological pest control.
BJ Davis Aphids are pretty common but introducing ladybugs well keep them coming back over the years as well:)
Don’t use pesticide
It will also kill the insects that are eating THE APHIDS
aphids are terrible. I KEEP getting them. can't wait to try this

Did you do any update video, cannot find it if so.
To be honest, I don’t know because it’s been so many years. If you didn’t find it then probably not.
this is the best video ever thank you!!
Is this Huntington Beach?
I cant find a followup video. How did it go?
Cool video! Would have been great to see the results the next day or so

Where can I get?

You remind me the importance of plastic mulch
