Today (in 33) we have had a huge invasion of ladybirds - there are perhaps 50 on every window on the sunny side of the house. They are sneaking in around the windows into the house (must get those gaps closed).
We have taken to taping up the gaps in the windows and vacuuming up the ladybirds.
@SuePJ - there are thousands of them no choice but vacuum up those that come inside. There are so many more outside what we have vacuumed won’t make a difference to the population.
Depends on what type of ladybird…if they are the invading harlequin one they are eating the larvae of the native ladybirds and other good things so you can hoover them up with impunity
Not many here that I have seen, but I think the hoovering them up may not be fatal as long as the dust is emptied into the garden. Then again, maybe modern machines compress them. ;-(
I take back my comment from 5 days ago, garden awash with them now, all trying to get into the house, or on our balcony window, and flying into my hair and beard over the weekend !
