4 effective solutions for Ladybugs & Sow bugs Control

Ladybug Control

Ladybugs are typically considered beneficial insects as they feed on aphids and other pests. However, when they invade homes during the fall and winter months, they can become a nuisance. Large swarms of ladybugs can gather on windowsills, walls, and in attics, creating an unsightly mess.

Why Do Ladybugs Enter Homes?

Searching for Shelter: As temperatures drop, ladybugs seek warm places to hibernate, often finding their way indoors through cracks and gaps in windows, doors, and siding.
Attracted to Light: Ladybugs are drawn to light, which can lead them to windows and light fixtures inside your home.

Signs of a Ladybug Infestation

Visible Swarms: Large numbers of ladybugs clustered on walls, windowsills, or light fixtures.
Yellow Staining: Ladybugs can leave yellow stains on surfaces when crushed, which may require cleaning.

Removal & Treatment: Our team will safely remove ladybugs and apply treatments to deter them from re-entering your home.

Sow Bug Control

Sow bugs are often found in moist areas of your home or garden and are typically harmless to humans. However, their presence can indicate dampness and can lead to structural issues if not managed properly.

Why Do Sow Bugs Infest Homes?

Moisture: Sow bugs thrive in damp environments, often found in basements, crawl spaces, or areas with excess moisture.
Organic Matter: They feed on decaying plant material, so gardens or mulched areas near your home can attract them.

Signs of a Sow Bug Infestation
