I have to BUY ladybugs!

In Reply to: Ladybugs - invasion..sm

Just saw this and can't believe some are infested with and want to be rid of ladybugs! They are good for the garden and save rosebushes little lives. They eat all the aphids. I really do purchase these at the garden shop and also buy walking sticks (the insects) for the same reason. I have hundreds of rosebushes that would love to be infested with your ladybugs. Who can figure this, what is infestation to some would be a bonanza to others. I think last time I bought them they were ten bucks for a little carton. Scoop those little suckers up and sell them! Sorry for your problem though and it gave me the creeps when I read about them squishing pink. Some years here we are infested with Mormon crickets and other icky stuff. They squish pink too and are sometimes all across the highway so that you can't see the pavement. Yuck.
