One of the easiest and safest ways to control destructive insects in your garden is to release beneficial insects. Praying mantis and lady bugs consume large amounts of aphids, spider mites, thrips and other nasties that cause so much harm to our plants. Each lady bug can eat up to 50 aphids per day. You will want to release the lady bugs in the evening, out of direct sunlight and they will stick around as long as there are insects for them to eat. Praying mantises are sold as egg cases. Put them in your garden and when they hatch they will eat almost any moving insect. And since they don't fly, they stay right in the area where they are released. So if you are looking for a totally organic way to control pests come by and pick some up today.
