I'm with you there. I just spent $85 for an exterminator. After 2 1/2 weeks, I still vacuum up over 100 dead beetles/day. So far, I estimate that I have vacuumed up over 3k of them. I will have to have this done again in June and then again on the outside of the house, specifically, in the Fall.

There are no predators for these smelly things.

I found out this week that the plan to control purple loosestrife also includes beetles. I did convince an active Green that if they don't have a predator for these new beetles, it will be another invasive species, but she will likely get voted down, if there even is a vote, at the scheduled meeting where they plan on telling folks about this. As for me, I would not even get recognized to speak in that crowd.

The Asian Lady Beetles get into computers, keyboards and electrical outlets. They, like cockroaches, exacerbate asthma. All so the organic soybeans can remain organic.

I spend over an hour a day vacuuming these vermin. I am sensitive to their pheromone, which causes me to have red, burning eyes. There is no recourse.
