the soapy water will kill the ladybirds, so either keep squishing or remove the ladybirds to a different area, and use soapy water.
I have only seen one ladybird all year so far, but my rose bush had loads of greenfly, so i stuck the hose on jet, and squirted the buggers off the bush, now theres just the odd one, that i squish i check every day. |
