Ugh! Lady Bugs are everywhere!

There's tons of the ceiling of my room, and everywhere near the entrance of the house. How do I get rid of them?

 

Lady bugs thrive on aphids. I know very little insect science (I'm a window washer), but the normal line-of-thought for eliminating pests is to get rid of the food source!
Good luck!

PS, post some pics!

 

haha i vaccumed most of them, but there are still maybe 3-4 around the window.

 

Awww, c'mon, now!!! Leave the little creature alone, besides, they are nature's pest control, even though they are the pest right now.

As a Bio major, I believe a food source is not necessary for an explosion of this sort......could be a swarm attracted for some unrelated phenomenon, like bright lights, temperature, aromas......did you use Ben-Gay on your tennis elbow this morning??

We need an entomologist here.....anybody??

 

While I am no entomologist, I have widely read that, where you have Lady Bugs, you do not have fleas or aphids. Lady bug eggs are sold for this purpose. Spiders also feed upon roaches. I would suppose, in the final anaysis, with which can you coexist?

 

I think he's speaking of the ones that were introduced to control a pest in pecan farms. They are lighter in color than the native ones. They are not as bad here as some years. I'm talking about walls covered. Filling up a vacuum cleaner with them. Finding gobs of the in a wall as big as a basketball. These are different. Got to run or I would google it.
