Ladybugs do tend to fly away. I’ve had luck with Safer’s insecticidal soap and neem oilon aphids.

I don’t know of complete books on the subject, but I’m sure that there are some. I’d recommend doing the usual Amazon and Google searches (which you have undoubtedly already done). The site http://www.gardensalive.com sells a lot of natural pest control products.

Have you had any luck controlling aphids with ladybugs?

Last year, they worked great. I bought a little container of them, and they fiercely decimated the plant-eating foe, who never returned.

This year, when the aphids came I got more ladies and they wiped out the first round of aphids, then apparantly flew off. A month later, the aphids returned. Now what?

Anyway, thanks for the tips!

found you on google. Are there any books out on Sustainable Pest Control.

I am a landscape Architect/Horticulture teacher and I need a text book on Sustainable Pest Control.

Thanks,
