They are beautiful, surely they can't be a problem.
Perhaps though if it's a problem to her, she could put some netting over her window, and then they can't get into the house.
As you can tell, I am no gardener, but the little things are cute and my little girl loves to see them.

Ladybugs may well be good luck, but you don't want them in your house. They can bite and they can chew holes in fabric. They are coming in to get warm through tiny cracks and openings around your doors and windows.
"The best time to take preventive measures is during the summer when most over-wintering lady beetles should have left your home. Try to seal up as many cracks and crevices inside and outside of your home as you can. Place weather stripping around doors and windows and place door sweeps on doors, if necessary. Vacuum as many of the beetles as you can. The most successful treatments are applied on the outside of your home in the fall when the beetles begin to congregate on the sunny side of the house. "
Good luck!

They might be breeding there. She is very fortunate as ladybirds (as they are called in the UK) are loved by gardeners because they eat aphids. I try to get mine to breed like mad!
But if she's not into gardening, maybe she should look near the window and see if they're breeding nearby.
I should be so lucky.

Are you sure they're lady Bugs ?
There's a beetle that looks very much like them. The beetles will bite you, but there isn't any after effects. When you smash them, they give off a strange smell and their blood (if you can call it blood) is orange.

i have had that problem for over 3 years , it's like an epidemic . My neighbors also have them . Seems like nothing you do will get rid of them . So I let them hang out until they die and clean up the bodies .

the cause is they'res too much lovein that house, and the love attracts them. like flies to ****.
so you should tell her to mace anyone who comes in.
especially if its a socially awkward child at a crucial point in their development.
