Asian Lady Beetles: How To Get Rid Of Ladybugs, Diet, Etc. | Orkin

What You Can Do

Asian lady beetles are a problem for homeowners when they move inside our homes and other structures seeking a protected site to overwinter and then when they decide to once again move outdoors as the weather warms in the spring. The following proactive and control actions are also useful prevention methods:

Proactive Measures – keeping them outside

• Seal gaps and cracks where lady beetles may enter the structure. Pay close attention to areas such as siding, doors, windows, chimneys, ridge, soffit, and gable vents and openings around pipes, conduit, and utility wires.

• Repair or replace damaged window or door screens.

Control Measures – getting rid of those inside

• The first thing to do when dealing with ladybug beetles is to contact your pest management professional (PMP) and request an inspection. Your PMP will correctly identify the pest insect(s) and provide a plan for dealing with the problem.

• Some other effective and safe methods to deal with lady beetles are:

  • Use a HEPA filter vacuum. Be sure to empty the vacuum bag after using it.

  • Use a broom, sweep the insects into a dustpan or other container, and put them outdoors.

  • Use insect light traps in locations that stay relatively dark and attractive to ladybug beetles such as attics.
