6. Provide Water Sources: Ladybugs, like all creatures, need water to survive. Create small water sources like shallow dishes filled with water or damp sand to keep ladybugs hydrated. Place these near your ladybug-friendly flowers and habitats.

7. Avoid Using Chemical Fertilizers: Chemical fertilizers can harm ladybugs and disrupt their natural habitat. Opt for organic fertilizers or employ alternative methods like composting to nourish your plants and maintain a ladybug-friendly garden.

8. Be Patient: It may take some time for ladybugs to discover and establish themselves in your garden. Be patient and continue creating a welcoming environment by providing food sources, shelter, and a safe haven from pesticides.

9. Keep an Eye on Aphid Populations: Ladybugs are attracted to aphids, one of their favorite food sources. Monitor your garden for aphid infestations, and if you see an increase, it’s a sign that ladybugs are doing their job. Resist the urge to use pesticides and let the ladybugs handle the pest problem naturally.
