Clik here to view.Over the last few years, ladybugs have become a little less lucky and a lot more of an annoyance. Well, the first lesson to learn here is that the ladybugs infesting your home are probably not real ladybugs, but Asian Lady Beetles. Asian Lady Beetles vary in color from dark to light orange, while real ladybugs are red.
While you may be seriously annoyed with these pests invading your home, they are actually very beneficial to the outdoors because they snack on bugs which hurt your garden. Unfortunately, when temperatures start cooling off these beetles look for warm shelter—typically found in your home. Asian Lady Beetles find entrance to your home through little cracks. When they find shelter they emit an odor which attracts other lady beetles causing the quick multiplication and homeowner headache.
Although these beetles don’t do any damage, they often excrete fluid which cause little orange stains. These beetles will often enjoy sunning themselves in sunny areas of your home, on your ceiling and in bathrooms where it is humid and they can get a quick drink.
To get rid of Asian Lady Beetles start by attempting to prevent them from entering. Seal off any cracks outside your home where they can gain entrance. If they still manage to sneak in, vacuum as many of them up as you can, then call Extermatrim Exterminating (800-620-PEST) immediately.
