Luckily, you don’t have to room with them forever. Fox Pest Control wants your home to belong to you and only you.
Signs of a Ladybug Infestation
You might already know for sure that you have a ladybug problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs of a ladybug infestation in Manchester & Surrounding Areas.
Sightings
The only sign of ladybugs is to see them. They might be flying around your property, or they could be gathered in large numbers, which is the sometimes case with Asian Lady Beetles.
Things You Need to Know About Ladybugs
- There are around 500 species of ladybug in the United States.
- Ladybugs of the Harmonia axyridis species cause the most problems in the United States, because they overpopulate easily.
- Ladybugs can release a foul smelling chemical fluid when picked up that’s meant to deter predators from eating them.
- Ladybugs aren’t venomous.
- They don’t sting, but they may bite if they feel threatened.
- They eat pests like scales and aphids that have a tendency to destroy plants.
Helpful Ladybug Prevention Tips:

Ladybug Control FAQ
How do I get rid of ladybugs?

Which ladybug species is harmful?
Ladybugs aren’t necessarily harmful, but some can become a nuisance. The main species that can become a problem is the Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, which is an invasive species in the U.S. They can become a nuisance in your home by overpopulating the area and crawling all over the house, the yard, and other areas.
Are ladybugs poisonous?
While they don’t sting and aren’t venomous, some can bite if they feel threatened, but their bites usually don’t hurt.
What should I do if a ladybug sprays me?
Most ladybug species will release a foul-smelling chemical fluid if you pick them up. This fluid is meant to deter predators from eating them, so it won’t harm you as long as you wash your hands and clean up afterward.
Are all ladybugs beneficial to the environment?
Most ladybugs are beneficial for the garden by eating plant-sucking insects like aphids and scale.
Do ladybugs make nests?
No, ladybugs don’t make nests. They don’t need to make shelter because ladybug coloration is an adaptation that warns predators that they don’t taste good. They can also “play dead” by curling up their legs into their bodies.
How many kinds of ladybugs are there?
There are about 500 species of ladybugs in the USA and around 5000 species worldwide.
Do the number of spots on a ladybug tell you how old it is?
No. It’s a common myth that the number of spots tells the age of a ladybug. Different types of ladybugs have varying numbers of spots. Some spots are black, others are white.
Why do ladybugs have spots?
The number of spots is ultimately influenced by the environment and the genetics of each ladybug species.
What do ladybugs eat?
Ladybugs will devour plant pests like scales and aphids, which will latch onto a plant and suck its juices out using their beak-shaped mouth, called a “stylet.”
Do ladybugs eat aphids?
In general, yes, ladybugs go after most aphids. However, they don’t like to eat all aphids, as some aphid “flavors” aren’t as savory to them as others.

Manchester & Surrounding Areas Pest Control Reviews
We have never needed pest control in the past and we randomly called Fox. We couldn't be happier with Phil the technician that came to service our home. Phil was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and patient. He answered all of our questions and put us at ease. If all of Fox's technicians are like Phil then you'll be in good hands.
We've been using FOX for the last few years for seasonal pest maintenance. Every time we see some sort of pest activity outside our regular seasonal treatment, they come quick and take care of it. The workers are always kind and courteous and answer my questions and concerns. We've recommended this company to a number of family and friends who have also used FOX for treatment.
