hi all,

my window has around 17 ladybirds on it. we have installed new windows etc, and i am at loss of what to do to stop them coming in.

is there anywhere i can buy a ladybird trap that actually works? im getting desperate, i really hate them being there.

TIA

i think they are getting in through the window. but the room gets v stuffy if we don't open it

I had them last year. They are attracted by light coloured walls especially if the room is south facing & it's cold outside. Stopped them coming in by closing the curtains. Not what you want to I know, but it worked.

They love my west-facing gable-end on warm afternoons. Opening the windows is suicidal! (Mind you they've all crept in round the dodgy seals and are gently snoozing in the window-frames now).

I don't think we can get rid of the harlequins now any more than we can grey squigs.
