So, we moved into our "old" new house (MIL's old farmhouse). It needs a LOT of work with first priority being new windows and insulation. I can deal with it for the most part except for the small room off the bedroom. It has one tiny window that is COVERED with ladybugs. I'm talking inside and out, they are on the ceiling and the walls. This is basically a walk in closet where our clothes go and it's really freaking me out. Yesterday, DH taped up the edges of the window with duct tape and I vacuumed them all off the window and ceiling and 15 minutes later everything was covered again! It's like Amnityville Horror meets Rainbow Brite!
Don't get me wrong, I like ladybugs and don't mind one or two getting in, but this is ridiculous. Any suggestions?
(Just to be clear, this is an old window with wooden framing. Single pane. I can see them being about to get inside the screen with the window closed since the screen is probably older than dirt, but we taped all over the wooden framing basically taping the window shut but they are still coming in. We can't see any other holes around it...could they be in the siding which is also older than dirt?)
