The cola companies should not be too upset, they are making sales after all. They just do not want their names associated with the "pesticide word. Using their cola to attract natural predators that love their cola, just like humans do, sounds like a green thing to me.

I found a link that discusses using sugar water to attract ladybugs and other beneficial inspects here in FL.
