anyone else having issues with mass amounts of ladybugs getting into the house. I had the pest control company spray the outside, but is there anything else I can do?

They are predators of bad bugs. Let them be.

I have this going on as well.

They like the ceilings and fans.

Probably the Chinese ladybugs. They are invasive. Fairly hard on native insect populations.

You been in a deer stand lately, baw? They're swarming.

Little bastards are supposed to be good luck, but I've only seen a 3 point so far.

Those aren't lady bugs, They're asian lady beetles. I'm not kidding about it. Lady bugs don't bite. These will. They also emit an odor.

One of those things bit the shite out of me on the back of my neck the other day.

They aren't lady bugs they're asian beetles. Supposedly they hate citrus smell so spray pledge on your windowsills and door frames.

Spray the area with anything containing a lemon oil scent. Pine Sol etc.

We had our domestic lady beetles that were predatory and did not have any bad habits.

Then, we bring in more aggressive lady beetles which have bad habits and which bite.

Good move.

I vacuumed over 600 two days ago. I quit counting at 550. They were tons behind my curtains near the door.
