Default Ladybugs

The lady bugs are seeking out the warmth of the indoors, light from the
window, and the moisture from your bathroom. My guess is that your
window is oriented to the southwest? You can scoop then up and put them
back outside--it's warm up they should want to stay out now. Or you can
scoop them up, put them in an opaque container, with a damp paper towel
(for moisture) and some raisins (for food) and let them stay in your
fridge until the last frost. Mid-April you can release them in your
garden. If you don't want to fool with trying to save them, you can
vacuum them up. Whatever you do, don't squish them b/c they will leave
a yellow stain on the wall, blind, etc..

Would anyone know why every winter I have ladybugs in my house, in particular
in the bathroom? Even if I take some outside there are still more everyday.
I don't know how they are getting in either but they all die eventually.
