Ladybird Control in Haringey: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in autumn to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and the corners of rooms.
Homes on Haringey's hills, in Muswell Hill, Highgate and around Alexandra Palace, see the most, especially light-coloured houses facing the sun. We remove the clusters and treat the entry points.
They often return to the same spots each year, guided by the scent left by previous clusters.

Ladybird Control in Haringey: your questions
How much does ladybird control cost in Haringey?
Ladybird control in Haringey costs £240 for a flat or £280 for a house, with no VAT to add. The price is fixed before we visit, with no call-out charge.
Are they harmful?
Not dangerous, but can stain fabrics. They don't spread serious disease, but they can be a real nuisance in numbers, and treatment stops the problem growing.
Will they return?
They can. Sealing gaps helps. We treat the areas they're using and show you which gaps to seal, which is the best way to stop the same thing happening again next year.
Can I vacuum ladybirds up myself?
Yes, for small numbers. Use a stocking inside the vacuum nozzle so you can release them outside, then wash the area with soapy water to remove the scent that attracts more.
