On reaching the ground, this strong downdraught spreads out to produce a gusty wind which has the potential to cause significant damage. Severe thunderstorms produce wind gusts of 90km/h or more, with peak winds exceeding 160km/h in the most damaging storms.
Pepper. Pepper also gives off a strong scent that repels ladybugs without killing them. When your garden emits a hot pepper scent, ladybugs will steer clear of your plants and shrubbery. In a spray bottle, mix two cups of water with three teaspoons of crushed red pepper, chili pepper or paprika.
Lady bugs and man made ladybug nectar. I joined the beneficial bug club and bought a bag of 1500 lady bugs from Calloways. I also bought a bag of what they called lady bug nectar, both distributed by the same company.I put out a good bit of the nectar, which is a powder, early in the morning when dew is on the leaves and the nectar sticks. I've been letting the lady bugs out day by day in different places.'d noticed that lettuce had a bunch of aphids on it and the lady bugs seem to be congregating there as if for a feast. Even better, I've had tons of bees, several kinds too (and a few kinds of wasps, which I'm less excited about), showing up and they definitely seem attracted to the nectar.
