As Weather Warms, You Might be Bugged by Lady Bugs
Multi-colored Asian Lady beetles are good for gardens, but a nuisance around and in your home. But there are steps you can take to safely rid yourself of the pests.
It is not uncommon to see “lady bugs” or more precisely, the Multi-colored Asian Lady beetle even on cold winter days gathering on windowsills or a warm sunny wall. Especially on days where the wind is calm and it is sunny. They are usually observed beginning in late winter and spring when days are growing longer. If there is sufficient warmth generated on the sunny side of your house or other buildings, the beetles will venture to the outside and onto the siding. If the temperature of the wall or siding nears 50 degrees, some beetles will wake up and begin crawling around. Some or a lot might even come inside the house where warmer temperatures attract them. This is also true with cluster flies, western conifer seed bug, and boxelder bugs…
