Are you having an aphid problem? Then check out these Beneficial Insects that can help you take care of that problem!

LadybugLadybugs

The familiar round, orange spotted ladybug is just one of more than 400 species of lady beetles found in North America. Most ladybug adults and larvae feed on aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Adults are attracted to flower nectar and pollen, which they must eat before they can reproduce.

Praying MantisPraying Mantis

Praying Mantis, preys on most insects, mites and insect eggs. Use 10-100 egg cases per year per acre in early Spring. Hang an egg case in bushes or attach to anything 2′ or more above the ground. Egg cases may be stored in the refrigerator just above freezing with slight dampness.

green lacewingGreen Lacewings

Pale green or brown lacewing adults have distinctive large, veined wings and feed mainly on flower nectar. Lacewing larvae, however, are voracious predators that feed on aphids, thrips, scales, moth eggs, small caterpillars and mites.

Don’t Forget…

hifinsharkHi-Fin Sharks

Despite their names they are NOT sharks! They are actually middle to bottom dwellers and are more closely related to algae eating sucker fish than the ocean dwelling shark. Hi-Fin sharks are compatible with goldfish, koi and many other pond fish. Great for cleaning the pond and will even eat algae! Also what sets them apart from their namesake is that these sharks don’t have teeth and they like to school; so keeping 3 or more will make them happiest.

aquaticsnailLive Aquatic Snails

Aquatic snails add a great deal to your backyard pond’s health and water quality. Oddly attractive, snails serve as nutrient recyclers that promote clear water. They play highly supportive roles in populating new and established aquatic ecosystems with beneficial bacteria. Snails have traditionally been somewhat overrated as top-notch pond scavengers. While they consume their fair share of algae, decaying leaves, and rotting leftover fish food, they don’t eat fish waste, blue-green algae or brown pond scum.
