How To Get Rid Of Ladybugs and Ladybug Infestations

How to get rid of ladybugs in your house and ladybug infestations were two of the most searched trending topics on Google trends today, as such it seems like a good idea to do a post about this for no other reason than we can see how hard it is for a new blog to get ranked for long tail trending keywords.

Here are some tips I found searching online about how to get rid of ladybugs:

First off the ladybugs you are tired of dealing with are not actually ladybugs, who would of though. They are actually the asian lady beetle (as opposed to the asian man beetle). They were brought to to the US in the early 20th century to reduce other bugs people were tired of but did not have Google to search for ways to kill.

Now, lets go with the obvious and figure out how to close all the cracks in your windows, doors, etc to keep the ladybugs out of your house. Nuff said.

Now lets take a direct quote from another site on how a certain type of earth can kill the ladybugs:

Food grade diatomaceous earth will get rid of lady bugs. Diatomaceous earth is a natural pest deterrent that I’ve been pushing in my articles for quite some time. It comes from fossilized algae that are mined and then eithe refined for medical purposes or bagged for landscaping and pest control needs. The most popular theory regarding diatomite’s effectiveness suggests that it is the microscopically, razor sharp composition of the algae that cut through the exoskeleton of the intruding insect, causing death by dehydration.
Sounds painful. Man, not a good way to go.

Now for one of the funnier ways I found to kill ladybugs, vacuum them up. Now I have witnessed houses with this problem and if whoever came up with the vacuum cleaner idea can tell those people how to vacumn their fluorescent lights please let me know.

OK, thanks for reading this far as part of my little test. Not sure this will pull it off but lets see.
