I am FED up with green fly, so I was thinking of perhaps buying a ladybird house. I was wondering has anyone got one and has it attracted ladybirds?

Thank you :)

Thanks, Next question, where do you position them, high up, low down, in the middle? Do they prefer it facing a certain way?

Cant help you as regards position and hight, but I think if you go into the garden centers that sell those types of stuff, you should get a leaflet with the house, I am also in UK and up here in Scotland we have ad a real shortage of ladybirds over the last few years, in fact, I have not had ANY for a couple of years now, so good luck, you will also be doing your bit for wild life, now that cant be harmful eh. good luck.

I don't think any garden centres here sell them - how stupid is that! I've seen I think two ladybirds this summer!
