All of a sudden there are hundreds of ladybugs all around my yard and house! What does this mean? Do I need to get rid of them or is it good?

They are just looking for a warm place to winter over. They are basically harmless. If they get indoors they can be a bit of a nuisance, but still not really harmful.

Are Ladybugs Good

Ladybugs are a beneficial insect. They eat aphids which are sticky sucking bugs that love roses and other flowers. I can remember my mother got a bag of ladybugs mailed to her for the garden.
Be sure you are talking about ladybugs. There is a beetle that eats lilies that looks like a ladybug somewhat without the spots. They do much damage to flowers.

these are probably not ladybugs per se but japanese lady beattles , they are a big pain , and get into your home and come in by the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands in some instances. this happens during the fall if you have a house that is light in color or have wooden siding.
they are trying to find a warm safe place to hibernate, like the ladybug beattle the japanese lady beattle is harmless and beneficial to the enviroment.
you will have to get ladybug traps and certain chemical barriers which you can find at local hardware stores such as lowes , home depot , or ace.
this can happen year after year after year. and will continue to do so, only thing that can stop it is constant spraying of chemical barriers or sealing all windows and doors to prevent them from crawling in .

I only wish I had hundreds of ladybugs around my house and garden. They eat aphids and I can't keep the aphids off of my hibiscus bushes.

Ladybugs are very good bugs. They must be nesting. Don't bother them!

ladybugs are great, especially if you garden or have lots of plants . They kill various harmful insects

And in the spring and summer they are a great help to your plants
