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. -paghat the ratgirl -- Get your Paghat the Ratgirl T-Shirt he http://www.paghat.com/giftshop.html "In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.
