Ladybug Infestation

[DomesticGoddess]

Someone help! I have a major ladybug infestation in my house. Does anyone know how to get rid of these things?

[Mr. Anderson]

I have purchased some killers from the local hardware store and even called an exterminator but these stupid things just keep coming back. :(

Heh, usually we usually use them to stop infestation no promote it :D

To stop them from penetrating your home,
there is a product we sell which works well at
repelling them. CYPERMETHRIN seems to aggravate
them for long periods of time. Simply spray
on the sides of house where they are invading
and you will be able to chase them away. The
Cypermethrin will provide both a fast kill along
with residual. If the ladybugs persist on treated
surfaces too long, they will die since the
Cypermethrin will last a few weeks. Although the
use of INSECTICIDAL SOAP will kill them quickly,
it doesn't have any residual. This means new
ladybugs will be able to come to the structure
and enter at will within a day of treatment.
Insecticidal soap does not provide any repellency
or residual which means you will have to apply
it over and over again when ladybugs are active.
For this reason we don't recommend it for ladybugs.
When treating, be sure to focus your efforts at
gutters, vents, windows, soffits, overhangs, and
door frames. We sell several SPRAYERS which can
be pumped up several times and with the tip
it comes with you can spray over 25 feet.
I like to start high on the side of the house and
carefully watch to see how much runs down the
building. By seeing where the spray runs, I am
able to minimize waste and maximize coverage.
One gallon treats 1,000 square feet and most
infestations are on one or two sides of a home.
For bad problems, you may need to treat all sides.
This treatment will be needed in both the fall and
the spring. Fall applications will stop ladybugs
from making your home theirs for the winter so you
won't have them active inside the home during
this season. Spring applications will kill off
the ones already residing in the structure as they
start to forage with warming weather. When they
come home to a treated house, they will avoid
it or suffer the consequences. This will kill
off the ones which refuse to leave and drive
the others away. You will probably need to
treat once or twice during the summer, but
be sure to treat in the fall. This treatment
is important as a timely application will
protect your home for the winter. This insures
you won't get invaded again and will eventually
eliminate the infestation altogether.
