Not really a spray solution to give you, but secure an old stocking over
the extension tube of the house vacuum or a shop vac and just clean them
up. The stocking is to keep them from getting sucked all the way down
in the vacuum, after a while there will be an offensive odor that you
get every time you use the vacuum. To help prevent them next year is in
late Summer to early Fall, treat the side of the structure with a
pyrethroid family insecticide as either a emulsified concentrate or a
wettable powder formulation. Caulking of obvious openings around
windows and trim is also a must.

There are some spray solutions you can use with great success. I use them
quite often here where I am. The spray of choice is called Suspend SC, you
can do a web search for it and probably find it for sale on some of the do
it yourself websites. There is one that I know sells it and here is the link
to the Suspend http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com...k-suspend1.htm.

The thing is however there is a little secret to spraying for ladybugs and
that is not to spray now, it is to spray in the fall just before they come
down out of the trees and plan on looking for a place to overwinter, such as
your house. You can go ahead and mix up some and spray for the spring
emergence of them but the key will be to spray in the early Fall say around
mid September that way you will have your home ready for when they hit it
they will die and not come out in the spring. I spray all my customers homes
in either August September or October and it will last until the emergence
of the lady bugs. They find them dead by the thousands. You should spray all
sides of the house as much of it as possible to ensure you get the areas
where the ladybugs will choose to land.

I hope this helps somewhat. If you have anymore questions please feel free
to ask them.
