Alright, how many of you all, especially in TJ, are having trouble with these Japanese Beetles(look like ladybugs) in your rooms? For awhile I could take care of them by hand, just removing them from my room, putting them in the trash or flushing them(they smell when you crush them), but I've been overwhelmed at this point. I'm thinking I'm just going to spray my entire window area with some sort of bug spray, but I'd like to hear what some of you might be doing about it.

Normally I don't condone the use of pesticides, but this is war!

Get some duct tape or caulk and seal around your window. That should decrease the number that come in to your room through the window.

Or you could fill your room with nitrogen gas so they would all suffocate and die...

Damn things infested my car last semester.

I'm so glad I moved out.

Freeze them with compressed air. It doesn't keep them away, but there's something satisfying about it.

There's not much of a problem with the little buggers here on 1 North, yet. I've spotted like two or three in our bathroom. Couldn't go scalding them with hot water though, but one of them did go for a rather interesting ride.

spraying them with bug spray will only make them worse.
