Every Spring Asian Lady Beetles find there way into our home. It is a yearly ritual trying to get rid of them but to little avail. They come back every without fail. The fact that our house is white vinyl siding is not helpful, I realize, but is there a preventative measure or more permanent solution?

Thanks for the question. Asian lady beetles in the house can be a real downer. Start your battle against these critters in early fall before they enter the home. Sealing entry points will really help reduce the numbers. A residual insecticide around the house perimeter can a also be beneficial. Check out the following links for more information:
