Ladybird Control: 5 frequently asked questions
Why do ladybirds come into my house?
Harlequin ladybirds look for sheltered places to spend the winter. Sunny walls, window frames and lofts are ideal, so the same homes are often affected each year.
Do ladybirds cause damage?
They don't eat anything in your home, but large clusters can stain walls and fabrics with a yellow fluid and leave a musty smell.
Is ladybird treatment safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use approved products and will tell you how long to keep children and pets out of treated areas.
Should I squash ladybirds I find indoors?
It's better not to. Squashed ladybirds release a yellow fluid that stains. Gently remove or vacuum them instead, and call us if there are large numbers.
Will they come back next year?
Harlequin ladybirds often return to the same homes each autumn. Sealing gaps around windows and vents and treating early helps reduce numbers.
