Funny thing about Ladybugs. We get them bad in the house every year right about this time. We live in the country and they come out from nowhere every year in mid November. Easy solution for me. As a mater of fact I got rid of them yesterday. I cut the toe section off of a pair of the wife's panty hose, drop it in the vacum cleaner tube, tie it off and suck the little bastards right off of the ceiling, Then remove the panyhose toe section from the tube tie it off and toss it in the trash, takes about 20 minutes.....no more ladybugs............They SUCK!

ladybugs are awesome...when they're not in my fruitloops or on my charmin

These people are careless, and useless to your cause. They offered no solution, besides to express their mishandling, miss-use and carelessness of the ladies. The very first thing I said was "IF ITS A SEALED ROOM". Just goes to show the ignorance of people.

Personally have seen 25,000 of them in a SEALED ROOM.
LADYBUGS or MITES? I think I'll take the lady bugs... (I'll refrain from name calling)
GOD I HATE MISSINFORMATION.

Also, you have a smaller tent, a smaller amount should suffice.

i offered a solution, you didn't agree with it. you offered yours, which i don't find practical.
i don't think you're ignorant. an asshole, maybe.

The mere fact that you completely ignored the I said a SEALED ROOM tells me something. I'm not trying to argue with you. The "no solution" comment, wasn't directed towards you. NOTHING is guaranteed to work, however lady bugs have proven to be one of the most efficient ways to get rid of certain pests (especially mites, they FEAST on them). Again, not practical? That's funny, because it is practical... . Spraying with chemicals and wiping every leaf isn't practical. Having MITES vs LADY BUGS ...isn't practical..

Not an asshole, I'm actually a pretty nice guy. Just don't like misinformation, as always.

This is good info. Thank you for sharing this. As always, one form of attack is never enough.

Like my OP said–any and all input is appreciated. I am overly grateful to everyone to pitch in a solution. With these pesticides it will take a few days before I notice a difference (per the instructions). I will update with pics at the first signs of changes so everyone can see. I am still open to any talk though!
