We have been around for a looonnnnnng time. We've lived on farms and in cities, but we just had occasional glimpses of lady bugs...until the last three months. They have invaded our motohome in east Texas, crawling all over by the dozens inside and out. They diminished after a cold snap but we are still seeing them. Has anyone ever experienced this?

One time when I bought a bunch of ladybugs at the garden store (10,000 of them) to eat the aphids on my houseplants. They were all over the house for about a week. Good thing they're harmless. Eventually they fly away home.

Yes, yes, yes. In my bedroom at my parent's house there was one summer where my room was covered in ladybugs. It freaked me out to the point where to this day I hate the things. I used to suck them up in the vacuum. I would get AT LEAST twenty in a day. My parents didn't believe me, so they gave me my own little hand vac. The bag was full of ladybugs in a week. They thought it was a freak thing, but after the bugs came it was a constant thing. Less over the winter, but back with force in the spring, summer, and fall. They didn't really spread to the rest of the house.
We nicknamed that room "Ladybug Land."
BTW, I live in northeastern Massachusetts (about 30 miles north of Boston).

The last 2 years my house has looked like it had spots.
They are all over my living room and the front of the house. We have been spotting a few dead ones on the floor already this year. They do keep one of my cats entertained though!
We live in Topeka, Kansas

My house in Maine used to be overrun with them in the warm months...It drove me crazy!! No matter what we did, they returned every year after the cold and snow were gone. I don't live there anymore...and I haven't seen anything like it since.

Yes, central Virginia has the same problem. How they get through the closed windows and doors, I don't know.

No but lots of ladybirds is meant to indicate a forthcoming good summer
