Ladybird Control in Lambeth: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in autumn to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and ceiling corners.
Homes near Lambeth's commons and parks, in Streatham, Herne Hill and Clapham, see the most, especially light-coloured houses facing the sun. We remove the clusters and treat the entry points, and advise on sealing gaps.
Harlequin ladybirds can stain paintwork and fabric and leave a smell when disturbed. The scent they leave attracts more the following year, so clusters often grow in the same window frame or loft.
