We have been dealing with an infestation of ladybirds since the end of Autumn, which has tailed off a lot now, but we’re still finding 5-10 in our bedroom (and other rooms of the house) every day. I was fine with just leaving them and hoping they’d go away, but one just flew into my ear and was possibly one of the most disgusting experiences of my life feeling it crawl around and eventually crawl out. I am due to give birth any day and now worried about something similar happening to my newborn.
How can I get rid of them? They’re coming in through the gaps in our windows, which can’t be sealed as it’s an old, listed cottage. Are there any deterrent sprays I can put around the windows? Must be child safe as also have a toddler.
