Brought here from Asia about 15 years ago, the Asian Lady Beetle closely resemble the lady bugs that we are used to seeing. They were brought here to help control aphids and I guess they decided to stay here in the Land of the Free. They do not spread disease and they do not bite, they just give a little irritating pinch to your skin.
During the Summer the Asian Lady Beetles usually do not pose a problem (maybe the aphids think they are a problem). When winter arrives, they like to move into your home and take up residence.
How To Get Rid Of Asian Lady Beetle - The easiest way is to vacuum them up by turning off the lights in the room and then turning on one back on. When they gather around the light, you can use your vacuum to suck them up.
When you get an Asian lady beetle on you, do not smash it because they give off a bad odor and they are filled with a fluid that can cause stains.
