Ladybird Control in Camden: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in large groups in autumn to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and the corners of rooms.
Homes near Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regent's Park see the most. Harlequins can stain fabrics and give off a smell when disturbed, so we remove them and treat the gaps they're using.
We find the biggest ladybird clusters in Camden in the top floors and roof spaces of houses on high ground, in Hampstead, Gospel Oak and around Primrose Hill, where the insects gather on the warm, south-facing side of the building. Once a building has been used, the scent trail draws them back each year.
