For many years we have had to endure a home invasion of ladybugs that are determined to make themselves bothersome houseguests. They are beneficial creatures, feeding on other bugs that damage farm crops, but indoors they drive you nuts buzzing around lights, dive bombing into drinks, and smelling bad.

Yes, we had stink bugs last summer and fall. Seems as though many people did. We were also visited by Asian beetles. Both seem to appear out of nowhere. Doors and windows were closed most of the time. All cracks are sealed. How they got in was a mystery.
