How to Identify A Ladybug Infestation?

As far as insects go, ladybugs are quite pretty. Their red coloring and black spots make them very distinguishable. Also, ladybugs will not bite or hurt humans or pets in any way.

The best signal that you have a ladybug infestation is seeing swarms of the insects. These are flying bugs, so the swarms may most typically be near an entrance way or patio. Ladybugs look very similar to the Asian lady beetle, the evil cousin to ladybugs which can bite and be harmful to pets.

If you see a ladybug that has an m-shape on its head or is a lighter color red with lots of black spots, then you are likely dealing with an Asian lady beetle. Both Ladybug and Asian lady beetle swarms should be exterminated by a professional pest control service.

Why You Might Have Ladybugs

Ladybugs tend to stay outside in temperate temperatures, but they don’t like extremes. If you are dealing with a heatwave or a cold spell, you may start to see ladybugs inside your home seeking protection from these extreme temperatures.

Ladybugs are extremely small. They are only about the size of an eraser head. Their small size allows them to enter through small holes that can be hard to see with the naked eye or completely seal.

Reasons to Treat Your Ladybug Problem Immediately

Ladybugs pose no threat to humans. Ladybugs do not bite and are not aggressive anyway. You can safely pick one up and handle it. Still, you don’t want large numbers of ladybugs invading your home.
