[bryan2010]

Arg...they're everywhere. It must be mating season for these little buggers. I have kill 15 or so in my room in the last 30 minutes. Right now Im blasting them off my windows with some compressed air...Got any tips to get rid of them? There flies another one!

I've got them all around our dorm building. They're infesting the elevators. Hehe, it's funny to see the girls get so scared of something harmless.

They're all over here, too. I did a search yesterday and read this happens when they've sort of settled in for hibernation and then get some warm days, they get active again. As soon as the cold weather hits I think they be down for the winter.

Damn it... you got them too..

I;ve had to kill around 30 so far.. One of my friends had to get maintenance into his room just to kill em all.. and it was a small pile in a corner of his room... Must find way to kill em all.

Mine are mostly outside, and they are good for the garden so I'm not killing them. How are they getting in at your place?

I don't know how to get rid of them more permently. But here's a way I use to kill insects (especially at night) and have some fun at the same time. Just get a big box fan, turn it up and aim a light source at the fan.

Perhaps insect repellant works better at getting from not bugging you in the first place.

Back home the ladybugs would fly into my halogen lamp and get fried. The smell was awful! Don't seem to have many bugs here up north in RI though.

My family owns a cabin in the wooded hills of Ohio. There are thousands flying around but I have only seen this problem in the last 5 years or so. What happened? Did an enviormental group get the OK to release a new breeding species? Anyone know?

Ya know, it's good luck to have a ladybug in ur room,

Bad luck to kill one

 

[CrumCake]

Try being out on the shooting range with a .45 acp in your hands trying to target shoot while those bastards are landing on ya like your an airstrip. i was about ready to lose it!!! Are they attracted to light colors? They sure loved my light grey t-shirt!

 

[Nutcase99]

I don't have any here in MA either. Hmmm I dunno anyway I think they are kinda cute

 

[Regine]

Ladybugs are the only bugs that I like. I hate the rest :disgust:
But ladybugs are pretty

 

[rahvin]

Lady bugs eat other bugs, and unlike spiders they won't bite humans. Don't kill them...

 

[randomlinh]

my little cousin loves lady bugs. well, insects in general.. he has a little aquarium(sp?) set up for all his little bugs

They love my car too... I parked it outside instead of in the garage yesterday afternoon and them with some bees swarmed my car. They think the yellow is a flower or something I guess.
