Ladybugs, an infestation of cuteness

So cute, So many! The late comedian Mitch Hedberg talked about Koala bears and the problem with an infestation of cuteness. Leaves were involved. Thats
peanuts to my inhouse problem!

I am overrun by small round red, some slightly brownish orange, wanna-be-beetles. The hardly fly, they crawl and hang out in door windows.
Yes, I have ladybugs. One ladybug, a good omen. Two ladybugs, cute. But I have hundreds, if not thousands of those little spotted bitches. And the
SWARM !!!

A coworker suggested I use dishsoap around the doors and windows. so after a "suckfest" of those little red spotted plague, I put lemon joy around all
the doors the beetle wanna-be-bugs were entering from. Either some of them hate the lemon and some like the lemon, or I wasted a bunch of dishsoap. In
an elapsed time, uncontrolled experiment I'm seeing less ladybugs, the ones I do see are walking around in individual lemon scented bubbles.

The leftover ‘herbie goes swarming’ multitude wander around nurturing my houseplants, bumping into each other, and doing nothing aggressive. As
punishment for this heinous behavior I have only one viable option. Talking to them has not convinced them to leave. Ladybugs don’t like to be blown on
and do not taste good. Apparently cheese does not excite them, nor does honey, and short of spreading Dish Joy around my entire home in an attempt
to cleanse the unwashed cuteness plague, I have no other choice-the vacuum!

Never before had I used the attachments with such ruthless efficiency. Sure some ladybugs escape but hundreds do not. I’ll take these odds. The
satisfaction is indescribable. Swwwip! Another member of the cute cult holding prayer sessions on the geraniums gone!

Problem has been contained.
