Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have an Asian lady beetle problem?

Asian lady beetles are a type of occasional invader, they live outside most of the time, in garden areas, but as the weather cools in the late fall they seek indoor shelter to spend the winter in. They gather in large numbers on the sunny sides of homes and other buildings for warmth. As the lady beetles crawl up the exterior walls they enter inside through small cracks and crevices found in and around doors, windows, utility entrances, rooflines, and exterior walls. Once inside, they crawl throughout the property until they reach a suitable hiding spot where they will remain dormant until the weather warms back up in the spring. Asian lady beetles tend to overwinter in attic spaces, behind walls, under floors, behind baseboards, and in crawl spaces.

Are Asian lady beetles dangerous?

No, Asian lady beetles are not dangerous, they are not known to transmit any diseases to people, do not bite or sting, and do not usually contaminate food sources. Asian lady beetles are actually considered to be a beneficial species because outside they feed on a variety of agricultural pests including aphids and mealybugs.
