Thats what I have been using to prevent them this year. Later in the year I will use Captain Jack’s Dead Bug or Pyrithin when any other bad bugs pop up, and those three seem to control most bug problems. All organic, all applied in the evening so they don’t bother the bees. And the occasional spray of bt.

My mom worked for a summer packaging those bags full of ladybugs. It involves being covered in ladybugs for most of the day, as well as finding ladybugs crawling on you long after work’s over.
