I got ladybugs it looks like as a freebie in a purchase I made what should I do with these guys

Just curious what I should do with these ladybugs I don’t know if it’s a good idea to release them in my indoor tents to have them spread throughout my house should I maybe put them in my greenhouse instead outside but then they’ll escape the greenhouse… they came with some predator mites I bought has anybody else used ladybugs?

Awesome assassins to have around. They stay put as long as there’s a food supply to keep them happy. Greenhouse is my recommendation unless you have some indoor pest :love_you_gesture:

Just release them wherever you think it makes sense once you release them nature is gonna do her thing one way or another

I do have indoor pest but I released thousands of predatory mites which will take care of them and I used the little release catch boxes also this time but I did release them in the greenhouse yes thank you. I certainly feel like that was the best option and they totally latched on to the plants and there’s plenty of food in greenery in there for them :100::white_check_mark::+1::ok_hand:

Cheaper to buy 1500 or more (saves shipping).
Indoor tent and outdoors, all good for Earth and participants.
Paperwork accompanied last shipment said 1-2per sqft is average.
1500 released in yard and I seen ten, last week.
More still in tent.

I thought i was having a pest problem and was about to purchase ladybugs for 5x5 tent but read that once the problem is solved they would be all over the house and they can die in tent and become part of a bud and everything they eat ends up waste. I found a product tanlin drops and haven’t had a pest problem in 5 grows
