Fox on Sirrius radio just did a spot on the lady bug infestation. Might
be on cable tonight also.

Yes, I have the orange, nuisance ones. The local exterminator stated
that
they are still "protected" and they can't expressly kill them. But they
can treat for "winged insects," but their guarantees don't cover them
(as
they are protected.)

Are they real red ladybugs, or the damn orange Chinese ones ? I'd be
amazed
(and dismayed) if the orange ones are protected, since they multiply
prolifically and kill the beneficial red ones.
We've been inundated with the orange ones for 6-7 years now in the
Midwest.
They bite sometimes and they stink when you smash them. Some genius
thought
it was a great idea to introduce them, and now they're taken over.
In the winter, the inside of the roof sheathing (spaced boards, allowing
some openings to the outside) near the eaves in our garage attic are
coated
with tens of thousands of them - a few thick.
