Been talked into buying a ladybird house and some larvae or adults,

I can't see how they're not just going to bugger off 5 minutes after
I've put them in the garden, but I've promised now...

Anyone have experience of this kind of setup? Any tips for feeding,
etc?

I have constructed a "juice bar" for my butterflies, and a "heliport" for my
hover flies. Due to lack of funds, my ladybirds currently have to make do
with a little council house, with a tiny dolls house fridge rusting in its
garden. They're certainly having a lot of children though.
