I live in Michigan and ladybugs are still flying around in the house even though it's cold outside. How do you get rid of them?

We had the same problem in MN.
They're Asian Lady Beetles or Bugs. They are trying to survive over the winter in your house. Experts say that they will not reproduce indoors. They can fit into the tiniest crack, so you'll never get at them without an exterminater. I'd spray an insecticide around the windows, since they love to go there. That would kill 20 or 30 a day. That's all I did. Constantly.

They are probably not ladybugs. They are most likey a type of beatle. Ladybugs are red and the beatles that look like them are kind of orange and they bite. I had them outside my window because the window was not sealed properly they were keeping warm. I did not realize this until I opened my window and they flew into my room. It was this time 2 or years ago. I just went to and got bug spray and sprayed the window seals in my house and outside the house. Then I vacuumed the inside of the windows to get rid of the rest. I have not seen them since.

i don't think you can other than checking all your window and doors seals. the lady bugs re looking for a place to shack up for the winter. this used to be an issue for me as well when i lived out there
