We get hundreds of the blighters in our bedroom (which is in the attic), and have to sweep them up with a dustpan and brush (or vacuum cleaner) before we can go to bed.
Mavis: you're luck that you live by the coast. Here in the centre of Kent (West malling) they are a real nuisance.
When disturbed or injured they emit some sort of pheromone spray which attracts other beetles, so squashing them just makes it worse. My wife complains that they stink though with my somewhat ineffective sense of smell all I get it a faint odour of peanuts...
Point to note (if we're talking about the same pests): They are Harlequin Beetles NOT ladybirds - they are an invasive species which was introduced from Asia by farmers looking for a 'natural' way to control crop pests (aphids mainly).
And, as always seems to be the way with introduced species (eg Cane Toads in the Northern territories of Australia), once these species get a foothold they find tastier things to eat including the larvae of our own native 2 and 7-Spot ladybirds.

No these are Ladybirds with the spots, at the moment we are just scooping them up and putting them outside.never thought of nesting boxes alongside the roses. what does one put in them to attract them in the first place.
