The ladybugs inside my home are in the thousands daily. My house is an A-frame house with glass fronting the east. Each year the ladybug infestation has gotten worse, possibly due to the unseasonbly warmer winters here in the mountains of West Virginia. I would like some help in knowing how to control these insects. PLEASE HELP! There must be some way of controling them.
Thank you!

Suck them up in a vacuum cleaner

Get a spray bottle or garden hose sprayer and ADD some Dawn Dish Detergent to the water. Spray around the exterior of your house, the dirt, grass that's close to the house, deck, around windows etc. The pesky Asian lady bugs do not like Dawn Detergent. It really works...

Had the same problem with a chalet in the Smokey's. The only thing we could do was to vacuum them up and then empty the bag outside. Once the season was over, then they disappeared. (Until next year).

Lady bugs are beneficial as they eat aphids,why not collect them and let them go,better still see if nurseries could use them.
