Remove unwanted ladybugs and
Asian ladybugs fast.
You may like ladybugs because of their
beautiful colors. Farmers love them
because they eat potentially harmful
insects, like aphids, that would otherwise
eat their plants. Ladybugs will lay their
eggs in these aphid and other plant-eating
colonies. When these larvae come out of
the eggs, they instantly begin to feed.
Ladybugs live 3 to 6 weeks and in this time
frame they can eat as many as 5,000
aphids.
The problem with ladybugs is when they
are in your home. They may not harm you,
but our experts will still get them out fast.
How can you identify ladybugs?
You will know you see a ladybug based on
their half-sphere, tiny, spotted, round or
oval-shaped domes. These insects also
have short legs and antennae. Their spots
and colors can make them appealing to
predators. However, they secrete a fluid
from their joints that gives them a foul
taste. The next time an animal encounters
this bug, they will remember that it tastes
awful. When threatened, ladybugs may
play dead and secrete their unpleasant
substance for protection.
