Ladybird Control in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Harlequin ladybirds gather in autumn to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames and lofts.
Homes near Epping Forest in Chingford and Highams Park see the most. We remove the clusters and treat the entry points.
Harlequin ladybirds can stain paintwork and fabric and leave a smell when disturbed. They return to the same buildings each autumn, guided by the scent left by previous clusters, so a small group can grow year by year.
