Ladybird Control in Kensington and Chelsea: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in autumn to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, roof spaces and the corners of ceilings.
In the borough, top-floor flats and houses facing the sun near Holland Park, Kensington Gardens and the garden squares see the most. Harlequins can stain fabric and paintwork and leave a smell, so we remove the clusters and treat the entry points carefully.
