Before you put too much time into your research, check what products are
already out there for these pesky critters. The Extension here in Wisconsin
has a great factsheet on them:

And, they've been around here, Wisconsin, Zone 5, since @ '95.

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
