I had an inspection today on a vacant home. Ya, I know that vacant homes are the norm in many areas of the country. But this was just not a normal home.
What was so strange about this home was that the floors were covered in dead Lady Bugs! The Realtor told me that he was in the home last week and he did not see any bugs when he was showing the home. This is most likely true, as at the first of the week we had temperatures around 80f and for the past couple of days it has been in the 20's and 30's.
I contacted a pest control contractor and he said the the Lady Bugs lay their eggs and then die. T told him what I found and he was quick to tell me that the next time the temps rise to around 80f again, that the egs will hatch and more bugs will appear. Apparently the L Bugs search out warm areas when it starts to get cool after a warm up makes them become active. Once the find a warmer area they lay their eggs and die.
This is what I found!
