They were swarmed all over the house, and got into the house through vents and whatnot, so all over inside windows, etc. I used to love ladybugs, but now I can't even enjoy ladybug stamps & cards. I did make a couple of cards once simply to use the stamps, but oh, it was so bad!!!! Now we just have a few, so it's bearable...Sarosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473357390599651168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630003986762206810.post-71730926798632145372007-11-13T23:05:00.000-05:002007-11-13T23:05:00.000-05:00Wow, you certainly have been invaded by the "ladie...Wow, you certainly have been invaded by the "ladies".Alhambra Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629798857472205060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630003986762206810.post-63647678784332992392007-11-13T18:48:00.000-05:002007-11-13T18:48:00.000-05:00Aaack!

We have 'em all over too, even here in MN, but they tell us they're not actually ladybugs, they're ASIAN BEETLES, they were imported as a natual alternative to pestisides, and it BACKFIRED! You're best bet is to vacuum them, altho my aunt sprays hers with diluted Dawn dishsoap! She claims it stops 'em. We're also invaded by boxelder bugs!<BR/>Hang in there!<BR/>Melody (GW)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630003986762206810.post-24090421790894630712007-11-13T16:07:00.000-05:002007-11-13T16:07:00.000-05:00go read this and see which species you have.

I suck them up with a little handheld vacuum when I see them because they leave stains on everything. I freak when I see them sitting on our white fabric blinds or white carpet!! My husband sprays something non-toxic on the outside of our house multiple times during the warm weather to try to ward them off, but it only partially works.<BR/><BR/>I used to love ladybugs, but now I hate them.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day (hopefully, ladybug free)!<BR/>WendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630003986762206810.post-33003632577647238592007-11-13T09:39:00.000-05:002007-11-13T09:39:00.000-05:00Oh my GOODNESS!!!

However, that's better than bees, termites, wasps, spiders and ants. ALL of which we've been "invaded" by at one point or another. But like you, I don't do bugs and I don't garden either. So I think the little "ladies" need to find somewhere else to go!Dawn Bibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830436491702607448noreply@blogger.com
