Ladybugs ≠ Good luck

Normally people wouldn’t dislike having a lot of ladybugs around seeing that they are apparently a sign of good luck.

I beg to differ.

In every window frame, door frame, even the top of the curtains in my room. EVERYWHERE, there are ladybugs. I’m even at the point of ‘googling’ the phrase ‘how to get rid of ladybug infestation‘. So I have a couple options: get DOOM bug killer spray and spray nearly my whole house or spend a little more time and vacuum. I think I might end up doing the latter just because I don’t want to get sick from the spray, especially since we’ve been having some heavy winds.

So in the end… Ladybugs ≠ Good luck!

This is a very very very small amount of them...

What’s the worst bug infestation you’ve ever had in your home?

9 Thoughts - Tell me what you think

  1. ok. I also have a ladybug does not equal good luck! I was at a funeral in Bots. and after the ceremony everyone went back to the families hut. They were cooking all the food in the big black kettles etc. So they they served us the food…seswa and pap. When I looked at the pap I noticed it was full of ladybugs, and I was expected to eat this!!! I tried to pick them out inconspiculously, but I’m afraid some of them ended up in my stomach…GROSS!!!!

    I’m with you about the ladybugs!!!!

  2. WOW!!! That is a LOT of ladybugs! I’m currently at my friends “new” house and we are having a MAJOR ant problem. They are everywhere and we have opted with the bug spray. Spray and then leave the house for an hour or so and it is wonderful. BUT…then there are a lot of dead black dots everywhere. :)

    Have fun with that! We had a big ant problem last year too… but it was probably because I always had open food in my room…
