I love ladybugs.
Ours got “displaced” by those weird Asian ladybug imposters that bite.

This seems to be a logical, intelligent, and cost saving solution to the problem. Some liberal will probably find a way to ruin it.

Native ladybugs don’t bite. Its the illegal alien bugs that bite.

I just wonder what the unintended consequences will be... Like clogged air vents, etc.
There are always unintended consequences. Some are truly funny, some are destructive. Occasionally, they are both.

I get those nasty orange ones in my house occasionally. My cat tries to eat them but I won’t let her. I throw them out.

Shouldn’t these bugs be renamed to be more gender neutral?

I was out mushrooming in the woods one warm spring day when I came upon mounded heaps of of ladybugs, so I scooped them up into a 5 gallon bucket (and it was full) and took them home and sprinkled them over my roses, yard and garden.
It was 3 years before I saw aphids on the roses again. Those ladybugs really did a number on the local population of aphids.

My grandmother used to buy them to keep aphids out of her roses and raspberries.

Have you ever been infested by ladybugs?
My uncle’s home is every late winter/spring. It’s unbelievable. Plagues. Like the window scenes in Amityville Horror.
They may help aphids but indoors, they will start overwhelming certain things, and dying all over the place, to boot.

Ants farm aphids. They attack anything that threatens their livestock. I bought ladybugs only to see the ants kill them before they ever had a chance to kill aphids.

All good, until they end up clogging up the ventilation fans/filters. I’m sure all of those ladybugs will attract a lot of birds and other predatory varmints to further infest the mall.
