Releasing Ladybugs & Wasps in the organic garden?

It's time for some natural pest control in our organic garden! Learn why we do this in today's video!

Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!

Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

ladybugs and wasps are our main pesticide at our house, but unfortunately, being Canadian, its like winter now or something, so no bug friends for me, lol

Every time you post a video, I usually am at work...But I have to stop working and watch lol. I really enjoy watching you and your family grow with new animals and additions, such as the shed. You guys are awesome!

Fight bugs with bugs. :) Thank you for sharin' these more natural ways of bug control, appreciate it. :)

As I was watching this, I heard one of your chickens singing their egg song and I looked outside because I thought it was one of mine. Ha! 😅

Super great advice on releasing at night and spraying water in your garden first. I know there is no guarantee that the ladybugs will stay, but your tips will certainly help create an atmosphere that they will love. Thanks for the great info. I will use this method too. Hugs to you and your family❤️

I am getting addicted to their videos.. I love farm animals too goo

Very cool, we released some lady bugs this spring and after a day, we barely saw them in the garden if ever. I thought they had literally flew away and left our property. However, now that fall is here, I am starting to see them more often. Was your experience a bit different or pretty much the same. I can't say I saw a huge reduction in bugs, but I did see fewer damage to leaves. Our issue is mosquitoes, so we also have bat houses around the property. Although they prefer the eaves of our house...lol. I may have to post a video about our bats, the unofficial addition to the homestead! Thanks again! Kenny (Life on Beagle Road)

Keep a ladybug house to encourage them to stay around more

Would this work still in our AZ heat? April-August?

[levishort]

We resided our house one year and it was nothing but a wall of ladybugs underneath.

[sadiegrace]

If I release ladybugs in our green house, should I leave the door/windows open or trap them in with water? Thanks!

What will eat black bugs on sunflowers

I have my first Nigerian dwarf going to be having babies around the 22nd of this month October I'm really nervous I want to make sure I do everything I can possibly do before and after for any advice I'll be alone taking care of

I had earwigs all over my corn this year - ate the silks down to nubbins then went inside and started eating the developing corn! Any natural control for earwigs?
