Has your yard, shed, or even home been inundated with small ladybug-looking beetles? Well, you’re not alone, and they’re not ladybugs! They’re Asian Lady Beetles, and they’re an invasive species.
They will bite, and they have a foul smell too!
Apparently, the best way to get rid of them is to vacuum them up and throw out the vacuum bag or container right away and put it outside. You can also put a pantyhose over the vacuum tube, discard them into a bag, and put them in the freezer for disposal later. You can also make sure to seal cracks and holes where the bugs may be getting in. Check your attic and basement.
