Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Physical exclusion before fall invasion is critical. Diatomaceous earth at entry points deters crawling. Light traps can capture indoor beetles. Vacuum removal without crushing prevents odor and staining. We time exterior treatments for fall prevention. For Albany's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.
Prevention Tips
✓
Seal gaps around windows, doors, and eaves
✓
Repair torn screens
✓
Caulk around utility penetrations
✓
Install door sweeps
✓
Avoid crushing which releases odor and stains
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Asian lady beetles different from ladybugs?
Asian lady beetles were introduced for agricultural pest control and have become invasive. They're larger, more orange, have an M-shaped head marking, and aggressively seek indoor overwintering sites. Native ladybugs rarely enter homes in large numbers.
Are Asian lady beetles harmful?
Asian lady beetles bite but it's mild, feeling like a small pinch. More concerning is their defensive secretion which stains surfaces and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Some people develop allergies from large indoor populations.
Can you treat asian lady beetles in Albany's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Albany properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
