Okay, I don't know about the rest of the united states, but here in Michigan, ladybugs are horrible pests and are invading everything. Today when I came home, again, they were covering my whole damn house, again. I was fed up with them, I have already used a permethrin based toxin to kill them, it didn't work, they didn't die, and they came back again. I have also already used a baygon aerosol and several other house based insecticides. Home depot / Lowe's both just said to wait it out and that they will pass, but these things are just pissing me off.

Anyway, today I went out there with my little chemical spray container, which is a 2 gallon bucket with a little hose type spray nozzel on the end that you pump to pressurize it, but instead of using cheap imitations, I used some gasoline. Long story short, I had a mini-flame thrower that was working like a beast at killing the damned things until my neighbor who has absolutely nothing better to do than stare out her window at me and complain about my music, driving, et cetera, called the police, again, who unfortunately also must have absolutely nothing better to do, came over and informed me that my little home made flame thrower was unsafe, that it was dry and there is a high fire possibility (even though it rained yesterday) and that they didn't want to see me with it again.

I already tried searching google, and cannot find any other good information, even found some stupid hippies supporting these pests saying don't kill them, and I need to figure out a good way to get rid of them. So if any of you have discovered a clever effective way of getting rid of these things please tell me, I could use the help
