Ladybugs in my bedroom only, alot of them, what does that signify?

Answer 1

you have a nest

Answer 2

I got ladybugs everywhere here too. But if your trying to signify that you are getting lucky in the bedroom, it wont work. Cause after the ladybugs, come the stinkbuggies. So yeah its only a temporary effect and sooon should go away after the season is gone. Seen any fireflies yet?

Answer 3

You could simply unknowingly have a tiny opening at the top of your window. There are a lot of ladybugs this year, and if you have any opening, they'll get in. Don't kill them, though - the ladybugs are everywhere, but most aren't actually ladybugs, they're stinkbugs, which look like ladybugs, but look a little more orange-y.

Answer 4

Ladybugs (ladybirds in Britain) overwinter in sheltered places, so if it's recently become cold outside, then you probably have a lot of beetles trying to nest for the winter.

I googled to back this up:

http://www.ladybuglady.com/LadybugsFAQ.htm says
"Q. Why do ladybugs come into my house in the winter time?
A. Ladybugs are attracted to the light colored houses. Especially, homes that have a clear southwestern sun exposure. Older homes tend to experience more problem with aggregations due to lack of adequate insulation. The ladybugs come in through small cracks around windows, door ways and under clap boards. They want to hibernate in a warm, comfortable spot over the cold months of winter. Ladybugs gather in groups when they hibernate, so if you see one, you can be sure more will follow. The best way to keep them out is to repair damaged clap boards, window and door trim and to caulk small cracks.

Q. Once the ladybugs are in my house, will they eat anything?
A. No. Ladybugs don't eat fabric, plants, paper or any other household items. They like to eat APHIDS. Aphids are very small, but very destructive pest that feed on plants. (If you have rose bushes, you have probably seen aphids.) Ladybugs, while trying to hibernate in your house, live off of their own body fats. They, also, prefer a little humidity. But our homes are usually not very humid during the winter. In fact, they are rather dry causing most of your ladybug guests to die from dehydration. Occasionally, you might witness a ladybug in your bathroom getting a drink of water. Now, that's a smart lady!

Q. How can I get them out of my house?
A. If you don't have a lot, just leave them. They will leave when spring arrives. Disturbing them will only cause them to stress out leaving yellow markings on your walls. The yellow stuff, you see, is not waste matter, but rather, their blood. Ladybugs release a small amount of their blood which is yellow and smells, when they sense danger. Some people have said that it does stain on light colored surfaces.

Q. But, I really want the ladybugs out of my house!
A. Use a "shop vacuum". This type of vacuum is easy to use for collect ladybugs. When using this to vacuum up ladybugs, use a clean bag or pad the bottom with a cloth. After all is clean, release the unwelcome guests outside.

Q. Is there anything else I can use to get the ladybugs out of my house?
A. Yes. There is a product called a Ladybug Black Light Trap. It uses radiating black light to attract and contain the ladybugs. See more information on the Infestation Page of the web site."


I hope this is useful to you. Even pretty animals and insects become unnerving en masse and especially in the bedroom.

Answer 5

I'm not an entomologist, but have noticed that insect behavior changes with the weather. To put it simplistically, they're trying to get warm too (or cool off, when the weather gets hot).

The ladybugs will go away when they become acclimated to the cooler temps outside. At that time, they will go back outside to find food. Needless to say, DO NOT make it easy for them by leaving uneaten food around the house.

The above assumes you don't want to use a chemical insecticide.

Answer 6

You could have a hole/crack to the outside. Check around your windows, doors, and floorboards/molding if you have that in your room. Otherwise they are probably coming from the attic and i would call an exterminator (they are reasonably affordable to bug bomb your house once a year which will keep away the lady bugs all winter).

Answer 7

They normally like warm/hot weather, so it must be getting cold outside. Don't worry, they should be gone in a week or two until they adjust to the outdoors. If not, I'd take try to get rid of them.

Answer 8

Cold weather is coming and they are looking for a warm place to hide out. They are doing the same here and it happens every year about this time, millions of them. Don't kill them because they are useful.

Answer 9

I heard that lady bugs mean good luck even though it's probably not true.

Answer 10

because it's getting cold outside lady bugs are seeking warmth,
