My first experience in a ‘gravity chair’ on a hot afternoon. I’m being invaded by lady bugs… although I think they’re the asian variety. Could use a little DDT to calm things down.
We have them, too. We use a product we order on line called TEMPO. It’s a powder you mix up and spray on the south side of the house where the Asian Beetles (look like Lady Bugs, but they’re orange-ish v. red) and Box Elder Bugs like to gather.
Our infestation isn’t too bad this year. On years when we have soybean planted all around us, versus corn this year, they are much worse...like the house and every south-facing window is FULL of them and I spend all day sucking them up with the shop vac!
Yes, it’s made by those EVIL people at Bayer, but it is pet safe and is the most gentle product we’ve found that actually works.

It is very effective against wasps, which we have to deal with a LOT. I have a small wasp nest in the door of my Escape right now - waiting for Beau to mix me up a batch so I can blast them. ;)
