Hello,
I'm looking at the territorial seed company catalog. They sell nematodes,
lady bugs, and lacewings and praying mantises.
Wont they just fly away.
My crappy neighbor lets his cat bust my garbage open. And his dogs bark
and keep me awake. And he's just generally a nuisance.
I'm thinking 18,000 lady bugs in his house for $54.95 should about make us
even.
They don't do anything damaging right. Like eat wood.

Not if you provide a suitable environment for them. Insects only live a few
days or weeks generally, you are trying to establish a breeding population
so there needs to be food and conditions that suit them.

Check the catalog and see if they can do a plague of locusts or cockroaches.

If you are asking if ladybugs eat wood - no.

Cheaper to buy a garbage CAN. The garbage mess is not the cats fault, it
is yours for not using an animal proof can! Otherwise, a queen paper
yellow jacket though an attic vent might work. They eat wood.

Around here , outside cats are strays and have HIV. And if you put a lid on
a can the garbage men throw it away.

Cats have HIV?
Wow, After google searching, that may be a true statement, I still have
my doubts.
Since you state it was your neighbors cat. Are you saying your neighbor
has HIV or you have HIV and afraid to get some other infection from
cleaning up the trash.
Garbage men throw away your can?
I would complain. Where I live trash pickup is not a community service.
There are competing trash service providers where I live. I would switch
trash pickup providers.

I would move, give your home to the bank. But first buy another home
before your credit gets trashed. Life in the boondocks is healthier
lifestyle it seems.
Gardeners worst nightmare, a neighbor puts salt on their front lawn.
DON'T DO IT! NOOOOO!
