i am planning on placing a pot with a small rose bush in and collect some aphids to place on it the best thing to do is bury the pot in the sand of the nest and make sure that there is a hole in the bottom of the pot so that if the ants do nest there they can easily expand.
the only problem with having a ladybird as well is that if the ants don't get to the aphids first then it is likely that the lady bird will kill all also ants will fight ladybirds and sometimes come off worse.
