My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Green Ladybugs??

19 years ago


I know they must be some kind of beetle, and they're eating the heck out of my Hardy Hibiscus. Plus they end up in my Hummingbird feeder, and on me when I dead head the hibiscus. They can fly too.

How can I get rid of them, please?

Leslie
