Ladybird Control in Bromley: what we see locally
In autumn, harlequin ladybirds gather in large groups to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and the corners of rooms.
Homes near Bromley's woodland and commons, such as Petts Wood, Chislehurst Common and Hayes Common, see the most ladybirds. We remove the clusters and treat the entry points.
Many homes in Bromley's leafier areas, particularly light-coloured or south-facing houses in Petts Wood, Chislehurst, Bickley and Keston, see ladybirds return to the same spots every year, as the insects leave a scent that attracts others.
