Ladybugs: beneficial insects for natural control of aphids, scale insects, and other pests
How do they act?
Ladybugs, also known as ladybugs, are small, brightly colored insects, usually red with black dots. They are considered one of the most effective natural allies in the biological control of pests. Both adults and their larvae feed on harmful insects, helping to keep plants healthy without the need for chemicals. By consuming large quantities of pests, ladybugs help reduce insect populations that affect crops and gardens.
How to attract them?
- Plant flowers such as marigolds, daisies, fennel or dill to attract them.
- Maintain areas with native plants or wild herbs near the crop.
- Avoid the use of chemical insecticides, especially broad-spectrum ones.
- Do not clean the garden excessively; ladybugs need shelters.
- If you see ladybugs, do not remove them or disturb them.
- You can buy ladybugs and release them at dusk so they stay in the area.
What pests do they control?
Ladybugs are especially effective against aphids, but they also help control other pests such as scale insects, mites, whiteflies and the eggs of some insects. Their ability to feed quickly and in large quantities makes them a valuable tool for natural pest control in orchards and gardens.
