The difficulty is that the ladybug is so small and the problem is so widespread!

I remember reports of it clearing up in some localities where the predator was released

The ladybug, Pseudoscymnus tsugae, is available as part of a release program for $1,500 as I remember, from the producer Ecoscientific Solutions, Scranton, PA (570)496-1000. At this point it is more of a process than a product, otherwise we would carry it.
