I had no clue that ladybugs smelled bad! :-o Reading the following link I just can't help but ask how many are in your home? :-o The link explains what the compounds are that create their smell but I think you're going to need to do the homework about those compounds to find out how to get rid of the odor :-(

In the meantime, try putting out small bowls of vinegar in out of the way places around your home because vinegar absorbs a lot of nasty odors. And maybe an exterminator can give you other ideas of how to remove the odor.
Let us know what you find out please :-)
yes they do smell i get an alergy from them
getting rid of them only requires spreading around woodwork with a lemon or orange zest paste
as for their odor i found zep smoke b gone very beneficial bout once a week will do
They are probably not lady bugs but an orange look alike called the Asian beetle. They smell bad when smashed and stain as well. They usually get really bad in the fall during harvest as they get kicked up out of the soy plants, corn, etc.
I read lemon oil like in a diffuser helps alot to keep them away also to plant mums because they seem to not care for the mums at all.
Have you tried burning a candle? Good luck.
I don't know if this will work but worth a try. Fill a spray bottle with water and put in a few drops of peppermint oil. Make sure it is a quality oil. The scent may help get rid of the odor.
If they are in the walls it will be hard. Citronella and citrus oil repel them, and smell good, too.
