how to treat log cabin infested with ladybugs

admin — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:03:59 +0000

I live in western NC in the mountains, I have an infestation of ladybugs! Last year I bought the house (partial log cabin) and realized there were gaps at joints, etc. We have been patching but realized the bugs just returned and are getting in the house again! I bought the ladybug light trap but I will need something to spray and kill them! I have a 22 foot vaulted ceiling and side windows high up which is where they seem to congregate and come it from! Can you suggest a nuclear option?

Read through our LADYBUG CONTROL ARTICLE which will cover everything you need to do. As our article explains, you should spray the outside of the home with the CYPERMETHRIN right away. This will "intercept" any that come around and really help. You should also seal up as many of the cracks and crevices as you can as using the FOAM we have in the article.

For the inside, setting out some ASIAN LADYBUG LIGHT TRAPS will help but do treat with some PHANTOM or DFORCE to get the overall best results. Lastly, remember that this problem took years to develop and will probably take a season or two of treating before you get rid of them all.

ladybugs in rv

Good Morning,
We have a lot of ladybugs in our RV and I'm thinking of purchasing your ladybug trap, however, I'm also wondering if I should have some type of spray to apply around the doors and pullouts as that's where they seem to be getting in. I read the testimonials and customers refer to a product named 'cypermethrin'.
Please tell me what the absolute best product is to use.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards, L.

Our LADYBUG LIGHT TRAP would be ideally suited for an RV. You could plug it in and turn it on every fall and spring whether you were using the RV or not. The trap would effectively collect any ladybugs which might appear and quickly round them up and stop them from nesting. This would effectively decrease the amount of spraying needed inside the Recreational Vehicle. But if you wanted to control the problem it would be best to stop them from entering in the first place.

To do this you should treat the outside of the RV with CYPERMETHRIN. It's highly irritating to the ladybugs and they'll avoid surfaces where it's been applied. Simply spray down the outside top and sides every fall and spring and you should be able to keep them out. As explained in our LADYBUG CONTROL ARTICLE, this invasive pest will return year after year to the same structure seeking winter harborage. If they're a problem inside, be sure to use some PT-PHANTOM throughout. It's just about odorless and goes on dry making it ideally suited for inside applications without making a mess.

ladybird problem in my house

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:00:38 +0000

I recently moved here to the states from the UK and have found out you too have the ladybirds! They are all over my kitchen and I can't figure out where they're coming from. My kitchen has a big window they seem to like along with the ceiling light. Can you tell me what I can safely use here?

Ladybirds in the UK are what we call ladybugs here in the States. Asian ladybugs to be exact and like in the UK, they were imported with good intentions. But as it turns out, they sure can create a lot of problems once they decide to move inside and make a mess!

Treating ladybug infestations is usually a multi step process as explained in our LADYBUG CONTROL ARTICLE . Though it will be easy to kill the ones in the kitchen with our PHANTOM AEROSOL, more will keep coming around if you don't get to their main nest site. I suggest you at least get the outside of the home treated as they are leaving for the spring and this is a good time to get them when they leave. I also suggest installing some LADYBUG TRAPS inside the kitchen to help collect any your treatment misses. As explained in our article, they like the light which is why they're hanging around your window and ceiling.
