This may sound a little crazy but why not suck them up with a sweeper then put them back outside again. WE have the same problem here too. Ours is downstairs in the basement. Hope that helps.

I've had ladybugs every year for 6 years.  Apparently they have few predators.  They do eat amphids and therefor support tomatoe plants but in your kitchen they are no fun.  Our only solution has been to ignore or vacuum.  I'll admit when I vacuum I DON"T put them outside again to come back in.  I burn the vacuum bag in the woodstove.  To understand, you'd have to see the numbers.  On a warm day my house can look like it has the measles. Good luck!

Thanks.My little ladies are all gone now but I am guessing they will be dropping by for some dinner next spring or fall.
