Not all beneficial insects feed on pray all the time.  Some need alternate food like nectar. Putting out plants that can provide nectar can be a great attractant.

 
  Provide a habitat

Don't plant a mono culture.  By provide assorted plant material that combine texture and different heights. 

 

Do not spray pesticides.
