Thanks for the thoughts.  We still have 4-5 months of winter before we can 
set out our plants... and at that point I will probably let the abundant 
natural lady bugs do there work.  I wonder though - has anyone used a small 
# of ladybugs INSIDE to control pests?

I have never seen ladyb's for sale though...

Thanks,

Keegan
