Both adults & larvae consume huge numbers of aphids (greenfly & blackfly), & adults lay 20-50 eggs a day, building a huge population. Release ladybirds into your garden & greenhouse to tackle pest problems i.e. aphids on roses, or simply to boost the numbers of these native beneficial insects in your garden. Each ladybird will eat about 5000 aphids & will soon produce ladybird larvae which in turn also eat aphids. We supply native British Adult Ladybirds (Adalia bipunctata ) in packs of 25 with food included by 1st class post, ready for release in your garden. They should be released directly onto aphid infected plants or dotted around your garden either early in the morning or late evening.
