A lot of the reviews I've read say that the ladybirds tend to fly off never to be seen again...
We've had problems with aphids eating all the flowers on our pineapple broom the last few years, not helped by black ants farming the aphids. So I'm declaring war on the ants this year, partly because they've also started invading our kitchen :/
@Eejit it would be worth checking that ants aren't farming yours but I presume you'd have noticed them marching merrily up and down the trunk.

My apple tree is infested with leaf curling aphids. Anyone know the best approach with these little bastards? There’s too many to get rid of by pruning the affected areas. I’m reluctant to use pesticides but not sure I have another option.
