Lady Bugs good or bad?

[Wulves]

Ok I obviously have a Lady Bug issue.
As much as I read they are good for plants , eating a lot of harmful other critters that could cause us great sorrow.
Does anyone know if I need to continue capturing and release outside protocol ?
Or let them be as long as they dont appear by the masses ?

They only hang around if there is food, so must be some sort of bad critters around that they getting rid of. They don't harm the plants at all.

You would be surprised how many less than 50 and their offspring will eat. I had a serious root aphid infestation couple years back in my shed released 250 of them (and about 200 of them weren't there the next day as they seem to know if enough food for their offspring and if not they will go somewhere else to mate that does have plenty of food) and I didn't see any aphids in less than a week nor did they come back.

A Lady Bug issue. Does this mean that you have Lady Bugs showing up that you did not bring into the house or room or where ever you are growing?

I'll take 'em!!! My house back faces south with all windows and every fall they would be crawling with ladybugs (the asian imports, not ours) so last fall my project was to vacuum them up several times a day - I did a real good job,dammit, this year - zilch - lesson learned. But in my defense - I didn't know I would be growing weed and those darn Ladybugs can really stink when disturbed.

We release lady bugs in the greenhouse. They have an internal clock (i read the directions years ago), they isually leave on there own based on the season. But they fly away easily in a greenhouse, sometimes we leave it open for several hours after pollen season. Not weed pollen, in the south we get regular plant pollen that blows around for a few months
