Hello to all!
A co-worker has experienced a ladybug invasion in the fall for the past two
years. Ladybugs have congregated on his sunny window sills inches deep.
Their poop has stained his white windows black in spots. When he sprays
them, he is left with piles of smelly bodies. They swarm around his house
so badly that his family cannot enjoy the evenings on their porch.
He knows that these are beneficial insects and is loathe to kill them;
however, he is upset that the only time of year that they seem to like his
house is in late fall after his garden is finished for the year. None in
the spring and summer months. He is looking for a more humane way to
discourage their swarming around his house, or at the very least, a better
way to send them to a better place.
