Lady Bugs infestation

Is there anyone else having a problem with Lady bugs getting inside of their van? I am having to use my vacuum cleaner to suck them up on a daily bases. I guess the older vans like I have are easy for insects to find a way in. My pickup truck is parked right next to my van and there are no Lady bugs getting inside of it.
  • Isn't there a "Look a like" beetle that resembles the lady bug? From what I remember they aren't good at all. I like to see a few Lady Bugs around but not in the hundreds. :)

    What are aphids?


    Tiny little insects that eat plants..........and Ladybugs love them.

  • Thanks for the response, I guess I will continue to vacuum them up until they give up. They are relentless at the moment.

    I had a bout with them a few years ago. They found my air conditioner duct that runs from one end of the trailer to the other... Was a daily routine to suck them all up with vacuum..

    Then it was good for a couple of years and then the stink bugs show up here in Virginia...

    They local TV news bunch said the stink bugs was good to eat...

    We had a few locust crawl out of the ground last year...

    Who knows what is going to show up this year. Already seeing the bees at work outside...

    Sucked them up with vacuum cleaner. And had to do that for about 2 weeks.

    Least they are harmless :B
