Ladybirds...loads of them
Over the last couple of days my workplace has developed an infestation of these buggers.
Do they have a nest set up? I didnt think so but cant think why so many would be appearing at the same time
They are starting to get very annoying and i would like to kill them, but the insect spray I have seems ineffective

It's a sign of the apocolypse... Repent now, loudly in the office and they might just go away!

Have you noticed any large pods around the place, and have any of your workmates suddenly started behaving oddly ?

I remember in one of the really hot summers that there was a plague of them. I was at Cadwell Park and there were red clouds of them and when they landed on you they would bite!

You do know people buy them for their gardens don't you..!
Around £10 for x15 in a small plastic, vented bottle, how many did you have..?
Although as winter is approaching fast you'd have been better off buying them one of these Insect houses for ladybirds and lacewings, insect study centres, food and attractant and then selling them all off, including larvae come next spring.
You'd have made a fortune..!

you could marker pen a few more dots on them, to help them get into clubs and / or buy cigarettes etc... (if you were bored, of course)
