[Amy Olson]

Hi Michelle,

Here’s the link I mentioned on FB Messenger about using diotomaceous earth:

I also wanted to share a couple sources for ladybugs:

Christy Webber Farm and Garden 
(312) 829-8200

We purchased ladybugs here about a month ago. You can call to see if they still have them. Ours have been super active and we have baby ladybugs now! No aphids yet!

Arbico Organics

I can vouch for the ladybugs and beneficial nematodes.

Let me know if you need any have other questions.

Have a great weekend!
Amy
