i actually read somewhere that after u release the ladybugs. they are really no good because they have been frozen and all they want to do now is mate.

Not true. They're hungry as hell. They might not ingest neem oil, and if they do, they only have a short life span anyway, so take your pic.

"Most bad bugs would rather die than eat from a plant sprayed by Neem oil. That includes grasshoppers. It is safe to use around pets and will not hurt birds, ladybugs, bees or any beneficial critters." -Mickey Claus/Dayton Courier

gotta love the lady bugs =P
