Lady Beetle Native to Eastern Asia Will Soon Seek Fall Shelter In Wisconsin Homes

The warm, dry weather of the past summer created excellent conditions for the Asian Lady Beetle. The beetles had sufficient food and a low occurrence of disease. As the nights get colder these insects will seek shelter in our homes. As a preventive measure you can attempt to seal up any cracks or openings around the exterior of your home. There are also exterior pesticides that if applied at the proper time can be helpful in preventing the lady beetle from taking up residence in your home. These lady beetles are not harmful, but they do become quite a nuisance during the fall season in Wisconsin.
