Lady Bugs?

Vacuumed a bunch of them. Found that a small bug-zapper light will attract them and take care of them if they touch the grid. They also accumulate under the light (its sitting on a counter top) and may still be alive. Vacuuming them is really easy since they're in one place.

The TT is winterized so I check it every few days. It works great so far.

likely japanese beetles. we had them once and finally, giving up on killing them, vacuumed them up instead.

This is the best way . They really stink if you kill them. We had an infestation of the buggers last year. It will take several days to rid.
I even had to take down the inner skylight over shower. Open the shades & turn on all the lights.

Asian bean beetles. Their numbers are dependent on aphids, their primary food source, Aphids on soybeans were especially plentiful this year, resulting in a summer long feast for bean beetle larvae, which means a bumper crop of the adult beetles.

My neighbor grows soybeans right behind my house.

Best way I've found to deal with these little pests is with a shop vac. They do not breed indoors, mostly they find a cozy spot inside the walls and die.

We get our home plastered right after first cold snap and warm up each year with millions on west facing front of home and sides about halfway back.
Some got inside. This year not but one inside and half as many outside.
Neighbor talking to wife, had the same problem.
I'm not sure how far they fly but they seem to rid the ari from the southwest. We get smoke from La, Texas etc when they burn fields and dirt and chemicals when they plow.
It will be warmer and rain the next five or six days and if the sun shines we may get plastered with them again.
