Re: Natural Pest Control


Talk about weird. A few years back we had this huge swarm of ladybugs that came through the area. The outside of the house was covered with them as was everything else.

Re: Natural Pest Control


My MOM actually did BUY a tiny box of ladybugs to add to her rose garden last year!

But when we lived in Gig Harbor, WA our neighbor had them literally NEST in her upstairs bedroom window. We had a huge amount come through like you........and she kept finding them in her South facing windows INSIDE the house. She called an exterminator, I think, and he told her, they'd hibernate shortly. If she did not mind them, then come spring, just open her window, take off her screen and let them fly out....
We moved before, so I don't know if she did or not, but I do know she did not kill them... emoticon

Re: Natural Pest Control


I found a lady bug clinging to my back pack after class one day. it was kinda cool because it was a 9 spotted lady bug! they used to think those were extinct.

Re: Natural Pest Control


I didn't even realize that there were different types of ladybugs. It's cool that you found that one.

Ladybug Legends and Lore LINK

This is pretty fun to read..... emoticon

And this bit of "Legend" pertains to 9 spotted one of which Avaren spoke of...
quote:

If the spots on the wings of a Ladybug are more than seven,
    it's a sign of coming famine. If less than seven, it means
    you will have a good harvest.

That is another very excellent site. As it turns out I'm using some of their ideas.
