I'm so depressed. I don't know what to do except pray they arent as
bad this winter (for the next six months). Last year I swear everyday
I must have vacuumed at least two hundred everyday. I'm going to go
bonkers if I have to do it again this year. I've called the
exterminaters and none of them can give a guarantee, at Home Depot they
told me there was nothing I could do about them and actually told me it
was good to have them in my house because they eat aphids. Well, thats
a really small consolation. This year I might plastic the windows.
Ladybugs are a disgusting nuisance. They smell like mildew and sting.
At night when I'm trying to sleep I can hear them knocking themselves
about the ceiling with their hard shells. I don't know what I'm going
to do really, I think I'm going to go insane within the next six months.

The only time I experienced a nuisance invasion they were restricted to a
living room picture window & easily managed. Their reputation for biting
is something that doesn't happen here; they're about as harmless as
anything can be. I delight in them & happy that they help keep toxic
chemicals unnecessary in the garden. I sometimes suspect they only become
bests in seriously "unbalanced" areas where the whole neighborhood's use
of every possible blend of pesticides has destroyed any hope of a
healthful environment with a useful balance of insect life.
