Beetles

One lovely thing that is starting up right now, and it happens about this time every year, is the infestation Asian beetles. The little bugs that look like lady bugs, but are about 500 times more annoying. They stink, the bite, and they are everywhere. Even though it has been cold, the sun has been heating the south and west sides of the house so the beetles are starting to come out. I must have killed about 20 or so over the last weekend, and I can only see it getting worse. This is the absolute worst time of the year with respect to these bugs, now and late September to mid October. Maybe I need to research ways to get rid of the dang things, but it seems like once they are in, they are in (such as in the attic) and there is no getting rid of them.
