If you thought bats were a problem...

...you should see our ladybugs!
Frostburg has a very strange and unique ladybug problem. It gets very cold early in the season and then we have hot days off and on. When the ladybugs think it's going to be warm, they come out to play. The afternoon and evening roll in and it gets cold fast, so they seek hot bricks and little holes. Like our house. I had the same problem when I lived on campus in the high-rise buildings. Our deck is COVERED in dead ladybugs right now. Ew.

My Mom has had to deal with lady bug problems before too. I have heard that they smell pretty bad too. Good luck!
