Answer 1

The fact that you can't feel drafts or find other points of entry isn't surprising, but the fact of the matter is that there's loads of entry points for things as small as bugs to get into any house. Creepy but true. The big question is what's in your house that they want. In the case of lady bugs- They're carnivores and eat other bugs. That makes it illegal in most states for exterminators to kill them. What they can do, however, is kill what the lady bugs are eating. In most cases that's aphid or cluster fly eggs and larvae. Cut off the food supply and they'll go elsewhere.

The wasps are a different matter as many breeds are solitary and don't belong to a hive somewhere. It's possible that you have a hive somewhere in your house - Possibly under an eave or between your walls.

In both cases, a reputable exterminator is your best bet.

Good luck.

Maybe you have a nest either in the house, under it, or nearby. You just have to have a mooch about and see if you can see where they are - dusk is best as they come back for the night.

Answer 3

I've had that trouble.

Wasps really don't need that much room. Could they be coming in vents? Or have they gotten under your house and been coming up the pipes?

Good luck!
