Central Iowa...sounds like all of Iowa as well. We were told that they were
brought into the country to control soybean aphids. Also heard that they
have a three year cycle and should be gone after this year, but that may be
a rumor (although I hope it's correct!!). They are quite a nuisance in the
home. The only way I've been able to get rid of them is to vacuum them and
they smell horrible!

I am new to this group and work for a manufacturer of pest control
products. I'm doing some research into asian lady bugs -- the ones that
become a nuisance inside homes in the cooler fall weather. I know this
topic has been discussed on this newsgroup in the past.

What I need to know is the geographic range of the problem in the U.S.
and Canada. If you have had a problem with asian lady bugs in your
home, could you please respond with your city and state, and any
additional information you'd care to provide about your experience. I'm
not trying to sell you anything, but it is my hope that we can create a
product that will offer relief from this pest.

Thank you for your time,

Stephanie
