They're back!!!

Posted by Sarah at 2:13 PM

When we moved here almost a year ago, we were amazed to see so many ladybugs in the kids' rooms! They just kept appearing...2, 3, 10...but sometime in April they disappeared. I noticed one in Kasey's room the other day. Then I saw one in Katie's room yesterday. I guess they are back for a visit.

If anyone knows of a safe way to get rid of these, I would sure appreciate some input. We had at times 30 or more in each room. Kasey is really into putting everything in his mouth right now and I would rather he not base his entire meal plan off of ladybugs...

    You may want to check to see if they are truly lady bugs. There has been multitudes of Asian Lady Beetles that were introduced to rid soybean fields of aphids. These creatures actually urinate on you (it contains some sort of acid) and it burns your skin.
