Default Lady Bugs and Box Elder Bugs

I have the same problem here. It truly is disgusting the way the lady bugs
coat the door and try to swarm inside the house and on you every time the
doors open
(and that's a lot when you have four kids). I had one on my neck and it bit
me! I didn't know they bit people. I am frustrated. I spray
them with bug spray, vacuum them up and the next day, they are there again.
Ugh.

Does anyone know of a way to decrease the population of these pest
around the house? Before someone berates me for trying to do in the
beneficial lady bug, please know that every fall they, along with the box
elder bugs, literally cover the sunny side of the house and invade the

house
with what appears to be ease. I vacuum them up inside (would be

impossible
to do the same outside as there are too many) but they keep coming leaving
their little yellow stains. I think it would be next to impossible to

seal
the house from their intrusion. Walking outside with them flying around

and
crawling on everything - lawn chairs, tables, the porch floor is

unpleasant.
Every year it is the same and I'm open to any suggestions for getting rid

of
them.

My sincere apologies to lady bug lovers but I think you would

understand
if you could see what I'm talking about. You really have to be here to
believe it!
