Attack of the killer Ladybugs!?

We moved to a new place recently and we were greeted with 100+ unwelcome roommates! Our bedroom and bathroom were infested with ladybugs! I know, they can be cute with all their bright colors and spots, but when there are swarming in your room and while you shower, its disgusting!

We read up on these ladybugs and found that they are the dreaded Asian ladybugs. They come into the house during the winter and most of the sites say once they're in your house, its too late!! If you don't believe us, check out the link: link

I know they are the good bugs and you shouldn't kill them, but J couldn't stand it. She wanted them out! And don't worry there are many more outside our window sill.

On a better note, we are really liking our new place. Its a very small, rural village of mainly farmers. Life here is very quite and peaceful. While we walk to the village, we can even see a shepherd walking his herd of sheep. We are really looking forward to this month as we work with special needs orphans and in the local medical clinic.
