Lady Bug Infestation

We like ladybugs around here - Little Lady was one for Halloween.  But.....I was surprised one day to find an entire family of ladybugs hanging out in my laundry room.  I'm not sure if they're here for the Winter or what, but they haven't moved for the most part.  I've found a couple of dead ladybugs around the house though and it kind of worries me that they're all going to die in my house.  Do I just leave them there?  I'm not really sure what to do with them.  They've been there for over a week now.  Crazy stuff.

  1. Interesting! I haven't ever seen them hang out like that. Sorry, I don't have any idea what to do. The only ones I have seen in groups in homes are Asian ladybugs. Here's a website on what you can do (not much unfortunately)

  2. Don't try to vacuum them up with the hose extension on your vacuum. They will start flying all over the place and you'll feel like they're darting at your head. You'll scream, making embarrassing sounds, and may even stub your big toe. Not that I've done that exact thing or anything...
