Lady Bugs Invading

PUT FRESH BAY LEAVES ON WINDOW SILLS AND NEAR ENTRY WAYS.

We also have them by the hundreds in Connecticut when the weather turns from winter into warmer weather. Since they are "good bugs" we gently gather them up with a sweeping motion of our hands onto a sheet of paper and release them back outside. This continues for a few weeks. They stink if they get injured, so be gentle.

I've always liked ladybugs for some reason. Sending them back outside or keeping them away with fresh bay leaves - if you can find them - seem like good ideas to me. :)

Lady birds or lady bugs as you call them won't hurt you or the building, they are just trying to get somewhere warm for the winter.

If they are really "bugging " you just scoop them up and put them outside and seal up where they are coming in .pop them into a shed or somewhere else like that . They are gardeners friends .

Japanese beetles are plaguing Arkansas right now. They look like ladybugs but have an oil that really stinks if you swat them, and I am told they bite and leave whelps. So be sure of what you are dealing with first. Best way to get rid of them is to vacuum them up with the wand of your vacuum cleaner. They are actually helpful, as they eat aphids in your garden.

Lady beetles are good for the garden, they eat insects that destroy plants so don't harm them. If they are larger beetles and have about 28 spots on them then they need to go.
