I am wanting to attract ladybugs to an outdoor ladybug home so they do not get trapped inside my home. Should I bait with this?

I doubt it will bring them out of your house. Try to centralize/attract them to a water sponge in the house, then take them out as a group. They will only remain where there is a water source.

I would think that would work. It attracted a ton of ladybugs to my garden last summer. Good luck!

Yes! Absolutely!I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!

I dont see any gnats in my traps. Just flys. A bug zapper might work. If your have problems inside the house i use a Fly Web Fly Trap. Pricey, but it work on gnats, fruit flies, and fly's.

the only thing I did was put the bait in high traffic areas which for the most part was the kitchen area. I have used this bait for 2 other houses of friends with the same strategy. Most of them I used in the kitchen and some in the bathrooms. The rest I used rarely in other parts of the houses.

I am pretty sure the smell attracts more flies than you would normally see in the area where you hang the trap. The good thing is that the trap lures them so they don't fly near your windows or your patio table.

Bait must be ordered seperately. These bait stations work great. Ignore the person who said they don't go inside because they do go inside and eat the poison. You would never place the bait outside as you would kill your dogs and cats and all kinds of friendly animals along with your neighbors pets and I'm sure your local police would not look kindly upon placing poison outside of bait stations.

I depends on where you put it & if any birds, bugs, etc., are attracted to whatever you are growing. Please contact your local gardening sore or agricultural extension & pose further questions to the professionals.

I would say No. However the bait is thick enough that it would stick to the tree. It will attract the ants especially if you put it on the trail up or down the tree. It works great!

No, ladybugs are beetles and they move freely from plant to plant. They don't secrete anything that would make them stick, but they might be ON something when your kids pick it, just like any other bug, so you should probably teach them to wash their produce before they eat it.... if for no other reason than dirt and parasites ;)

You have to attract them they don't really need shelter. Mix powdered sugar with brewer's yeast add a little water to make a paste. Put a blob of it on a stick (I use a paint stirrer, get them free at paint store) let it dry and put it in the ladybug house. They prefer aphids to sugar but will be glad for the sugar. Also put a source of water nearby they need a drink too.

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity.If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

We use it for slugs of course. I don't remember using it but I must have last year. I also love lady bugs but don't often see them. They don't act like slugs so I doubt it would get to them. Lady bugs are such a good infestation. . . .Judy in Sitka, Alaska

I had to hang the lurex to my dynatrap by wire. either way, I did not attract the mosquitos that were biting me with the different attractant. I am in southern cal so not sure if it attracts the mosquitos here. I did use aveeno skin lotion and it seemed to work! I can sit outside at nite without the mosquitos biting my head, arms or legs. go figure. will have to test aveeno in a more mosquito rich environment.

Ladybugs will swarm normally on the south side of your home. I have a feeling they got under your siding for the winter months and when it gets warm inside they wake up and go to the warm spots .

That would work well. I don't spray outside...just inside and in the garage. I spray a barrier along the garage door bottom, all corners, and any place that looks like a haven for spiders. I also spray along the base of all the entry doors, under the sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards. This stuff works great if you do it a couple times a year. I treat my house in the fall and again in the spring. I live in Mississippi near a bayou so there are plenty of bugs out there but they don't bother coming inside when I use this stuff.

Fruit Flies and Gnats wiggle their way free, so I doubt blackflies would get stuck. Tiny whiteflies will stick to the trap, but not much else. I haven't used them outdoors, so I'm not sure how well they work other insects. The local home pest control sells little glue boards made to catch spiders. Those things seem to catch anything. I've seen several large house flies stuck to them, so they should work if you can find them.

We never did get any ladybugs to live in ours. You can buy an attractant, but we did not do that, either.
