Ladybird Control in Barnet: what we see locally
In autumn, harlequin ladybirds gather in large numbers to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and the corners of rooms.
In Barnet, homes near parks, woodland and green belt, such as those in Totteridge, Mill Hill, Hadley and around Hampstead Garden Suburb, are the most likely to get clusters. We remove the ladybirds and treat the frames and gaps they're using.
Where we find ladybirds in Barnet
- Window frames: Old timber and sash windows have gaps ladybirds crawl into.
- Lofts and roof spaces: Clusters gather on rafters and in corners.
- Homes near woodland and parks: Houses near Hadley Woods and Totteridge Fields see more activity.
- Light-coloured walls: South-facing, pale walls attract ladybirds looking for warmth.

Seal gaps around windows, eaves and fascias in late summer. If a few get in, vacuum them up gently and wash the area with soapy water to remove the scent trail that attracts more ladybirds next year.
