This seems to be a logical, intelligent, and cost saving solution to the problem. Some liberal will probably find a way to ruin it.

I just wonder what the unintended consequences will be... Like clogged air vents, etc.

There are always unintended consequences. Some are truly funny, some are destructive. Occasionally, they are both.

I get those nasty orange ones in my house occasionally. My cat tries to eat them but I won’t let her. I throw them out.

I was out mushrooming in the woods one warm spring day when I came upon mounded heaps of of ladybugs, so I scooped them up into a 5 gallon bucket (and it was full) and took them home and sprinkled them over my roses, yard and garden.

It was 3 years before I saw aphids on the roses again. Those ladybugs really did a number on the local population of aphids.

Ants farm aphids. They attack anything that threatens their livestock. I bought ladybugs only to see the ants kill them before they ever had a chance to kill aphids.

All good, until they end up clogging up the ventilation fans/filters. I’m sure all of those ladybugs will attract a lot of birds and other predatory varmints to further infest the mall.

(insert gratuitous Jurassic Park and WKRP turkey drop hubris reference quotes.)

Fine by me. I like lady bugs and a reduction on the use of pesticides .

Are there enough aphids in the Mall of America to support 72,000 ladybugs? If not then they've condemned a lot of ladybugs to starvation.
