Problems Caused by Asian Lady Beetles
Asian lady beetles can bite, but it’s rare and it’s not dangerous. The biggest problem they cause is from the terrible smell and fluid they secrete when disturbed or crushed. Not only does it smell, but it can stain fabrics and even cause allergic reactions. And while they aren’t poisonous, should a pet get excited and eat a bunch of them, they can suffer mouth irritation and ulcers. The secretions they let out are especially problematic to juices and wine. It will quickly ruin the flavor so orchards and food and beverage processing plants can be especially susceptible to problems from Asian lady beetles. The loss of revenue from an infestation could be significant. While they are mostly just a nuisance, any large amount of pests is adverse to your guests, tenants, employees, and residents. Let us help take care of them.
Often confused with ladybugs, Asian lady beetles are the more destructive (to your plants) cousin. Asian lady beetles are a little larger than ladybugs. While ladybugs are bright red, the Asian lady beetle can be red, orange, or even tan. Unlike ladybugs, they may or may not have spots. The biggest difference is the M-shaped mark on the Asian lady bug’s otherwise white head.
