Ladybird Control in Bexley: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in large groups to spend the winter in sheltered places, such as window frames, lofts and the corners of ceilings. Homes near parks and woodland see the most.
In Bexley, houses near Danson Park, Hall Place, Lesnes Abbey Woods and Bexley Woods regularly have ladybird clusters each autumn. We remove them and treat the entry points.
Ladybirds are particularly drawn to pale, south-facing walls and to homes on higher ground, which is why we see clusters around Barnehurst, Bexleyheath and the edges of Danson Park. Once a house has been chosen, ladybirds often return each autumn.

Keeping ladybirds out of Bexley homes
Seal gaps around window frames, fascias and loft hatches in late summer. Vacuum up small clusters using a stocking over the nozzle so they can be released outside, then wash the area to remove their scent trail.
