We have been invaded by numerous orange and black Asian lady beetles (not lady bugs, but the orange ones). They smell and bite. I can not use chemicals as we have family members with allergies and I do some part time weekend child care. I have been vacuuming them up numerous times a day.
Does anyone have any tried and true suggestions that work as to how to get rid of them?
I am rather OCD about keeping a spotlessly clean and smell free house and it is driving me bonkers.

Lady beetles can be a problem because they enter your home and hibernate in your walls during the winter months.
Lemon oil in a diffuser helps alot and clears them out. Ive also heard planting mums helps keep them out which I havent tried yet. Something about the smell of the mums they cant stand and also mums have some thing in it that is used for pest sprays and bug bombs. I never knew that about mums but its true. I have dogs and I know they make animals sick and worse get stuck in the roof of the mouth of dogs.
