Do you allow the Asian lady beetles to stay?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa: Good question. There are so many of them, it would be impossible to get rid of them outside. And we use only organic, non-toxic methods for pest control (for example, milky spore to reduce the number of Japanese beetles). But we do have to watch for cracks in the house structure to keep them out.
DeleteQuite a range among your visitors. Do they disappear when it gets cold?
ReplyDeleteYes, there are many insects still out and about this time of year. As it gets colder, the numbers greatly reduce. Many of them burrow in crevices and underground. Also, once we have snow, just about everything is buried. On mild late winter/spring days some start to make appearances again. :)
