Ladybird infestation

It's getting a bit biblical out the back, waves of the spotty little buggers.

I've committed hideous genocidal crimes with the hoover. Bad karma

Just had about fifty land on my first floor window, there's hundreds of them flying around

No of course not but they are a danger to our Ladybirds and should be eradicated from our homes where they come in to breed where it is warm.

This is what they look like..

They've been invading my place for years now. I hoover them up with gusto - can't bear them. No guilt involved.
