Answer #1

lol here’s an answer I gave someone last year…

http://www.funadvice.com/q/whats_up_with_ladybugs

‘Are they a kind of dull orange color? If so, they aren’t really ladybugs. They’re a Japanese IMPORT, and they can bite. You can vacuum them up, actually.

Some time in the early 80’s the USDA released this asian variety in the hopes that it would be more agressive than the domestic kind. So, they’re much more helpful in your garden than they are in your living room. The reason for vacuuming them is that if they’re squished, they can release a bad smell AND they can stain fabrics with their orange-ness, lol. I hate them. We usually get them in our cottage in the Fall, but I’ve heard of spring home invasions too!

Try looking up Asian Ladybird Beetle if you need more info~! ‘

Answer #2

Answer #3

If it’s really that bad, then you need to call an exterminator.
