Has anyone any first hand experience of harlequin ladybirds?
A friend of mine has asked me to ask you for help on behalf of a
friend of hers.
This lady lives on the end of a row of houses in Bradford on Avon.
She is beseiged by the things, even getting in her house through open
windows. Nobody else in the row of houses has seen them.
Will the winter kill them off? Is there anything which can be done.
I've suggested they Google them but have not done so myself.
Help please?


Thanks to those who responded.
I omitted to say that the lady who has the problem with them says that
where they land in the house they leave stains. One landed on her
blouse and she could not wash out the mark. I've passed on the info.
