Turning the Tide on Nature’s Uninvited Guests

Lady bugs, also known as lady beetles are recognized for their bright red or orange body with black spots. They are considered beneficial insects since they feed on aphids and other pests that harm plants. However when they invade home in large numbers during fall or winter, they become a pesky nuisance. Sow bugs on the other hand are known as woodlice or pill bugs. Small greyish or brownish creatures with a segmented body. They are usually found in damp and dark spaces like basements or under furniture. Both the above mentioned pests can be difficult to remove without professional intervention. If you're searching for a ladybug and sow bug exterminator in your area, look no further.

Signs of Ladybugs Infestation

Infestation signs shown by these pests are easy to pick and detect especially when their numbers grow significantly. For ladybugs the most obvious sign is the appearance of these bright red insects in the form of large clusters. These clusters are commonly found in windowsills, corners of rooms or even on the walls. They emit a distinct musty odor when disturbed. Lady beetles also leave behind yellow stain on walls, furniture or fabric, which can be difficult to remove.

Signs of infestation by sow bugs are virtually less noticeable. Since they hide in damp and dark areas, it is essential to check basements and crawlspaces for their presence. A sudden increase in the number of these pests around plumbing fixtures, sinks and vents is a clear indication. If you notice a musty smell or damp conditions where sow bugs are active, it’s a sign that moisture problems need to be addressed alongside pest control.
