How do I either encourage ladybirds into my garden or breed them myself? Ditto any other useful insects. TIA, Jeff You will never get enough predatory insects to make a significant impact on greenfly. Some people here say birds will eat them (like tits and finches) however no one has told that to the said birds on my garden who seem to ignore them. That was our experience too. I saw tits picking insects off the undersides of leaves, but they completely ignored the greenfly. Spraying with soapy water as recommended here was cheap, simple and effective. |
