Ladybugs are great assets to your garden. They keep aphid populations under control as well as other insects that may be harmful to your plants. In that respect, they are quite useful – until they’re not. Ladybugs are great in their place (your garden), but when they find their way into your home, they can quickly become a problem.

While ladybugs have a reputation for being whimsical or even cute, they quickly lose their allure when they infest your home. Also called lady beetles or ladybird beetles, these bright beetles live on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. It's common for one or two ladybugs to find their way into your home nearly anywhere, but infestations are most common in regions with colder winter months. In this blog post, we'll share the most common causes of ladybug infestations, how to get rid of ladybugs in your home, and how McDuffie Pest Control can help.
