      Would Ladybugs be more effective than systemic for scales and stuff in your opinion?

      The only thing I know ladybugs are effective for are aphids, which are easily treatable with a strong blast of water. I don’t have a lot of experience with beneficial insects for my plants though

    What I was thinking… getting possible scales and am about to say screw it and let the bugs loose but don’t want to just release them to their doom.

      Depending on how bad the scale is, the best treatment would probably be for you to remove it yourself

      Thank you! Will probably do that and some neem. Don’t want to waste lady bugs
