argh Asian ladybugs taking over my house

Will this hurt my fish? I get them out as soon as I see them in there, but I'm afraid it'll hurt my fish. We always get swarms of these every fall and they stink.

I don't think that it will affect your fish, unless there is some sort of insecticide or something similar that was sprayed on the bugs. Here's some info on the bugs at the following link:

eek that's a possibility. We are surrounded by farmground so I guess it's possible that the farmer sprays insecticide. I do know he sprays herbicide. I'll make something to hopefully keep them out of the tank. They've never been a problem in my 20g, I guess because there isn't a lot of light in that room.
