Ladybug lures

I've been considering buying ladybugs to release in my patio to help with plant pests (mostly aphids). But I can imagine them all just flying away. So I was wondering if any of you have tried "ladybug lures" and if they work at all? They seem to be pheromone based and it sounds promising.

If you can buy them as larva you might have a better chance of them sticking around. They don’t have wings but still love eating aphids and other little pests.
