A few years ago, an elderly widow tasked me with that problem. I asked her, "Did you bring any plants inside last Fall?"

She had and there were Ladybugs all over!

I opened one small sunny window—removed the screen—and put the shades down on all the others. The sunlight attracted the Ladybugs, and they all evacuated on schedule.

BTW: I got a small nip from a Ladybug last month. It was entirely gun-metal-blue in color!
