🐞How to Use Ladybugs and Praying Mantis in the Gardens

Welcome back, garden friends! Ken Lain here, chatting with Lisa Watters Lain about keeping our green spaces thriving naturally.   Many of you ask if ladybugs and praying mantises truly work for pest control, and the answer is a resounding yes! These beneficial insects are nature's tiny cleanup crew.   If you're seeing aphids on your roses or fruit trees, gently moisten the affected area and release ladybugs at the base in the evening. They'll crawl up and feast! Praying mantis egg cases can be placed now and will hatch later when temperatures are right. It's a fun, effective, and chemical-free way to nurture a balanced and beautiful garden.   Not already a Garden Club Member?
