If you review our ASIAN BEETLE CONTROL ARTICLE, you'll see we have several products that can be used to get a local infestation under control. The primary product is the CYPERMETHRIN you can use on the house and plants immediately adjacent to the structure. It will both kill and repel this beetle and if done soon enough in the season, you can effectively keep them out altogether.

Once you get them inside, you'll need to decide what other products you should employ depending on where you're seeing them. As our article explains, this pest will come back year after year so if you've been seeing them on your house before, they're sure to return unless you treat the area.

We have a severe problem with Japanese Beetle infestation in our old farm house.  whats your best answer?
Is the trap thing a good thing?    Should I spray the lawn?    The old house has many cracks that they can
get through I am sure.

Are you sure you mean Japanese Beetles and not Asian Beetles? This time of year the ASIAN LADY BEETLES are the ones most people have problems with. JAPANESE BEETLES aren't active till the summer so I doubt you have them.

If it's the Asian Ladybugs, you'll need to treat with the products listed in our article. The LADYBUG LIGHT TRAP will help but it won't stop them from entering like the outside liquid treatment with CYPERMETHRIN will.

Here are links to all the information and products mentioned above. Call us toll free at 1-800-877-7290 if you have further questions as we're open on the weekend too.

As far as we can tell yes. It seems that from time to time we have people calling us asking about ladybugs, Asian Beetles, Asian Ladybugs, Asian ladybeetles, orange beetles, spotted beetles and just plain old ladybeetles. In all these cases they're complaining about a pungent smelling, round little orange beetle which is invading their home. They all say this offensive beetle is active all winter but particularly active in the spring and fall. Once inside, they tend to accumulate close to lights and windows when active. We even get reports these beetles bite!

When asked what can be done to control local infestations, we recommend the products and treatments listed in our ASIAN LADYBEETLE CONTROL ARTICLE. Over the years we've learned these treatments will control most any invading beetle so whether or not these are all the same species we're not 100% sure. But we do know our customers are asking for relief and that when they follow our directions they're able to reduce if not eliminate the problem.

I think you mean asian beetles or asian ladybugs. Japanese beetles are generally what people see in their garden eating their plants. They come out in the middle of summer and aren't active this time of year. You can read more about them in our JAPANESE BEETLE CONTROL article but I don't think this is the pest you actually see.

Asian ladybugs (aka: asian beetles) can and do get inside. They look a lot like our native ladybugs but are a bit larger, with different spots and  because they overwinter (hibernate) they commonly find their way into the living areas of many homes.

Look at the article we have posted online on how to control this pest. Our LADYBUG CONTROL ARTICLE does a good job of detailing all you need to know as well as showing some video clips so you can make sure this is the pest you have. Products discussed in the article can be linked to directly from the article where you'll find more information. If you have further questions or concerns, give us a call.
