...but I've been invaded.
In the last 4 hours nearly 20 ladybugs of various spot counts have appeared from nowhere and are busy walking around the walls of my trailer.
I don't know how to get rid of them! I got an Ultrasonic doohickey that is suppose to keep vermin out, but it doesn't work very well, I need to figure out how to ramp the volume I guess.

Ladybugs are good. They don't bite you and they keep out other bugs.

Are they Bushbugs (Red with white spots) or Treebugs (Black with white spots)?
If it's the former, put a bright light outside the door, they tend to behave like moths at times. If it's the latter, you have problems, since they prefer hiding in the undergrowth to flying away

Just be grateful that you won't be bothered by aphids.

Those are the things that ants sometimes herd, right?

Yep, greenfly.
Bluebottles are the worst of the lot though, I hate those evil-looking disease carrying, vomiting-on-food little bastards.

Thank you for that description, Flipside. So you don't like them, eh?

Lady bugs are red with black spots, Flip.

LOL In my experience, there is no such thing as useless information

Yeah, I usually find myself relating some pointless fact to some other pointless fact, almost on a daily basis...
Amazing, really.

Don't worry, sometimes it's actually informative and/or amusing.
Besides, I'm the same way.
