actually if you let loose some lady bugs and praying mantis in your home they will eat the bugs. you will have bugs in your home but they wont be eating the plants. Soft-bodied insects are probably the ladybug’s favorite food to eat.
I use to buy bags of lady bugs and mantis egg sacks.
natural pest predators
only bugs I had was Fire Ants and Orthene knocks their butts out and dont ever hurt the orchids. Jus smells really bad!!
and yes orchids can crush your spirit equal to the level of joy they can bring. I suffer for the joy. Dont we all?
