Ladybugs will stop the life cycle.I ordered them years ago and since I keep a lot of fruit trees,gardenias, jasmines, they have established themselves in the yard they do thier job.As long as you have a nectar source for them they will stick around.And they are great pollinators also.I have seen them in the mulch underneath the trees also.When we have some times a year when there is not too many flowers out I put out nectar sticks to keep them happy as a reward for thier good work.Just do not be alarmed when you see these alligator looking baby ladybugs that are mistaken for a pest.
