Effective Strategies for Managing Ladybug Infestations

Why are Ladybugs a Problem?

Ladybugs are generally considered beneficial insects due to their role in controlling insect populations and other garden pests. However, in some cases, ladybugs can become a problem for homeowners. Large numbers of ladybugs can collect in walls and attics, leading to their emergence inside the house in spring, which can be annoying. They can produce a yellow, foul-smelling substance that can stain surfaces and fabrics in your home. Some people may be allergic to ladybug secretions, which can cause skin rashes.
