If only I could figure out how to get the 1000s of lady beetles in

room & on the sides of the house out onto my plants.
Scoop them gently off into any available container and carry them out
there?
Ladybugs aren't all that hard to move.
One year I had a problem with aphids on some sweet peppers that I was
growing under row cover until fruit had set, because I wanted to save
seed from them and didn't want them to crosspollinate with other
varieties. So I caught a few ladybugs and put them under the row
cover. Problem solved.
