Default Ladybugs

They seem to be a regular intruder each year in the late fall/early winter for us.
Some years are worse than others. One year it continued through till January and
we finally called an exterminator because the clicking of them beating their little bodies
against the lights at night was driving us bonkers. Luckily we called an honest one who
said "I can take your money, but they'll be back in two weeks, there's not much I can
do about them." At least they're relatively harmless........ Now that I think about it,
I've hardly seen any this year. Maybe the fact that the last of our 3 old cats died last
summer and we've repopulated with younger kitties has something to do with that -
perhaps they're hunting them down for entertainment! I see them mostly around
the windows and I know our window seals are not particularly tight - I think all you
can do is just make sure you don't give them any holes to crawl in through.

Good luck

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.
