ladybug invasion

Help! We are sharing our home with several dozen lady bugs. We're not sure when we invited them in but they don't seem to want to leave. Any ideas?

you've probably dealt w/ this already - but vacuuming them up is a recommendation I've heard

you should totally collect them all and sell then at a steep price to Tommy and Kim for their garden; lady bugs are the ultimate organic pest control.

hmmm...good ideas - I have been looking for ways to make extra money. I should take advantage of these lady bugs of ours. Actually, we just vacuumed them up. Easy enough! Ladybugs aren't so cute in swarms, by the way.

no - and the kind we have in the south are infesting - different than the kind you can buy at the garden center for helping your garden be aphid free

oh . . . that's not so cool.
I wonder what they are doing in your vacuum.

that is so weird! i guess ladybugs are better than spiders or cockroaches at least...
but they are still not welcome in your home!
