Default ladybug question

I live in Ottawa, Canada and noticed that in the last 3 weeks several
ladybugs inside my house around the windows. I'm trying to find out
how they get in. I checked all around the windows and there doesn't
seem to be any openings for them to get into. Any ideas on how
ladybugs usually get into a house ?
Thanks much.

I doubt that they got in recently. I suspect that they have been hibernating
inside without your permission or knowledge.

It is generally believed a great many bugs get in the same way you do.

Their presence near the windows is most likely due to efforts to get
out.

Hi,
I want them in my house. Our sunroom has quite a few plants growing year
round. Lady bugs take care of plant pests by eating them. I always
welcome them. I am in Calgary.

yup, they seem to be coming out of hibernation. My friends have tons
of lady bugs inside their house. The bugs come out mostly where the
area is sunny/warm.


That was my former experience. I looked forward to the emergence. Today, in
our bunker, we have no chance of seeing them. T'is sad but we do still have
outbluidings that are not hermitically sealed that they are welcome to
reside in - rent free!

There is something that looks like a ladybug which is more of a pest.
They flock to windows, and
the problem is discussed on the ahr newsgroup periodically. Do your
screen frames have a slittle
slot at the bottom to drain rain water? Mine do. Perhaps, if you do,
you can cover them with tape
or glue on a small piece of screening.
