It's so quiet...

[GabeU]

I don't remember a weekend ever being this quiet on here, save for when they first started this site.  

Maybe that's a very good sign.  🙂

Are they still coming into your house?

This is what I collected from my front window in an hour's time this morning...

Like a nonstop army.  😞

Do exterminators get rid of them successfully

I certainly hope so.  😛

You're living in some kind of horror movie, @GabeU.  LOL

Nah.  It's not that bad.  It could be worse.  I could be livin' in a van down by the river!  😛

Here's a closeup of one.  You can see the upside down M shape (in the white) at the top of its head.  That's how you can tell that it's an Asian Ladybug.  This one pictured doesn't have any spots on its back, but most of them do.

That's a great pic, Gabe.  I think I have the same type of beetle.

I certainly hope not.  If so, be careful.  If they get a foothold God help you.  They're incessant.

These ARE actually the ones I get every winter -- they come in, congragate in corners, and slowly die off, though I guess some go out in the spring.

Mine couldn't die off quickly enough.  LOL.  And there're always more.  😞  

[maratsade]

Oh yes. I think they come in to reproduce, so we'll always get more.  I read somewhere that once they get into a home, they always come back.

In the meantime, in the Sweetpea household, we just hatched a mantis ootheca and have a jar of fruit flies to feed the two surviving nymphs, lol.

While Gabe hopes to eradicate his home of pests, we invite them in, lol!

[maratsade]

Ask Gabe to supply you with ladybirds -- he's a dealer.  LOL

That's cool.  You've got to post some pics!   

[Sweetpea3829]

Lol, when they are big enough to eat ladybirds, I'll have Gabe send me some of his stock😂😂😂

Gabe, I promise to post pics if they get large enough, lol. Every single one died within hours of hatching, except two.

They are cool, though. We usually have hundreds of nymphs in our field.

"We usually have hundreds of nymphs in our field. "

Do they look anything like this?

[GabeU]

@maratsade

I appreciate the info.  Looks interesting.  

[maratsade]

I'm the type of person who would probably buy one ready-made.  LOL

HAHAHAHA!  

Sadly...all of our nymphs died.  😞  I can't figure out why, either.  

[maratsade]

That's sad. Poor nymphs.
