I have other plants which attract hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and such to the plant collection and they will sometimes check out the orchids or just land on them. I usually just set ladybugs loose after putting the plants outside...sometimes lacewings. Indoors, if I do not have the luck to have a cleaning crew of ladybugs, I use a safe insecticidal soap, Neem Oil, Diatomaceous Earth, and washing the plants well with soap and water as my methods to combat pests.
