please don't kill them. they r good luck and they keep unwanted and damaging insects away.
buy a mulberry or lemon candle or lemon incense... they hate the smell. scatter bay leaves around & on window sills, anywhere they can sit.
Install tight-fitting door sweeps or thresholds at the base of all exterior entry doors. Gaps of 1/16 inch or more will permit entry of insects.
parsley, wild buckwheat, white sweet clover, tansy, sweet fennel, sweet alyssum, spearmint, Queen Anne's lace, hairy vetch, flowering buckwheat, crimson clover, cowpeas, common knotweed, caraway and black locust all attract them so make sure u dont have any planted in your yard.

They are not Ladybugs they are Japaneese beatles and they disguise themselves as innocent laddybugs but these sting and they come in hoards, there are many proiducts that will kill them both for certified pest control operators and in the stores, read the lables.

They are undefeatable. You have obviously angered them. If you do not beg for forgivness, the insects will inifiltrate your house and home. No one is safe. The FBI knows about it, but they're keeping it quiet and hoping they will go away. They will not go away. They are intent on cleaving the blue orb and will not stop until their mission has been fufilled.

Please don't kill your ladybugs. Capture them and take them to a local nursery They are very good for your garden. Most people are very glad to have them. I am sure you can buy a product to kill them but I personally would not want them dead.

I use to live in an old farmhouse that was loaded with them. I just use to vacuum them up. Not much else you can do. If you want, you can put the vacuum bag outside and release them. I never did though.

Lady bugs are harmless and pretty. They rid your garden of harmful aphids and other nasty bugs. Just get a screen door or something.

If you can collect them and keep them alive you might be able to sell them to nurseries. They are great for keeping plants rid of other less attractive pests.
