I will say that I did not like the fact that, in the absence of aphids, they will eat fruits! I sure don't need that!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176858948830602489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986430768560238630.post-77232834602771270822008-11-08T19:59:00.000-06:002008-11-08T19:59:00.000-06:00http://www.ipm.msu.edu/beetleFAQ.htmThat says they...http://www.ipm.msu.edu/beetleFAQ.htm<BR/><BR/>That says they eat aphids.

My son will not go to sleep in a room when he hears that annoying clicking of them hitting the ceiling or walls, because he knows they bite. It never fails someone wakes in the night during that season , having rolled over on top of one, resulting a good-zed bite. Fortunately, our season is relatively short. I wish you the best!Red Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328604145699224503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986430768560238630.post-3060663836141526472008-11-07T09:27:00.000-06:002008-11-07T09:27:00.000-06:00Oh, we have done the ladybug thing before and I fe...Oh, we have done the ladybug thing before and I feel your pain. I don't know of any real good way of getting rid of them. We too have fought the flies all summer and they are just now dwindling off. I haven't seen ladybugs yet but I will now be on the lookout.Trixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196019426959996853noreply@blogger.com
