We are now mostly moved into my mil's house! I really like being here, but there are a few "quirks". The biggest one is that she has "old" windows, and doesn't have screens on them!!! I think it's been close to ten years since any of them have been opened; she ran the air conditioner 24/7 in the summer, and the heater in the winter. I avoid the AC as much as possible, and like to have my windows open wide!!! ANYWAY, she also has had problems with lady bugs inside the house in the past. I'm finding them on occasion since we moved in, especially near the windows, and am expecting to find more and more as it warms up. I am NOT looking forward to this!!! Does anyone know something cheap and natural I can wipe the window area with that will discourage them? I'm not into essential oils...too expensive!...so it needs to be something more available than that. Thanks!
I'm not talking about one or two every now and then. I really need a way to get rid of them inside the house.
Here is some information about how and why ladybugs some in as well as a some suggestions about getting them outside. http://www.ladybuglady.com/infestation.htm
