The best way to beat the bad bugs is with the good bugs! We got some praying mantis eggs and ladybugs from Summer Winds Nursery in Chandler. The praying mantis container comes with 2 large eggs. You get between 50 and 200 mantis from each egg and there are about 1500 ladybugs. Hopefully they do their job and have a nice bug feast in our yard.

Hey guys, great website and yard. Loved all the pictures, thanks for sharing.
One thing you should know about beneficial insects, if you don’t currently have a pest problem, the good insects wont stick around as they need to eat, especially lady bugs who are fickle as it is. So if you don’t seem them around then they either ate all the pests, there were none to begin with or they liked your neighbors yard better and moved on.
Good luck
