1. -In setting up a new grow system in an enclosed green house, completely screened enclosed, would there be any problems in introducing and setting up ladybugs at the same time as putting the plants in ? I would set up ladybug habitat, with feeders as recommended for ladybugs.
2. -Is it better to wait until a pest problem arises before doing this ?
3. -Will the ladybugs wander throughout the greenhouse keeping is somewhat pest free ?

I would think early intervention is always a good thing..
