Signs of a Harlequin Ladybird Infestation
- Large numbers of ladybirds clustering on sunny windows, inside loft spaces, attics or around light fittings
- Foul-smelling yellowish fluid (reflex bleeding) when disturbed, which can stain walls and surfaces
- Increased ladybird activity on warm autumn days as they search for overwintering sites
- Year-on-year increase in numbers due to lingering pheromones attracting new infestations
- Strong, musty odours and visible dead insect build-up
Why Are Harlequin Ladybirds a Problem?
The Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) is an invasive non-native species that has rapidly spread across the UK, including Maidstone and Kent.
Health and Hygiene Risks Include:
- Unpleasant odours and staining from defensive secretions
- Potential allergen issues causing eye and respiratory irritation for sensitive individuals
- Risk of disease transmission (including fungal and bacterial pathogens harmful to humans and pets)
- Negative impact on our native British ladybird species, threatening local biodiversity
How Our Professional Harlequin Ladybird Treatments Work
Integrated Harlequin Ladybird Control Using:
✅ ULV Space Fogging Treatments:
We use industry-approved Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) fogging systems to disperse fine insecticidal mist into roof voids, lofts, attics, and wall cavities, killing ladybirds on contact and reaching deep into inaccessible areas.
✅ Residual Insecticide Sprays:
Professional-grade, long-lasting residual insecticides are carefully applied to known harbourage points where ladybirds gather year after year.
✅ Pheromone Disruption:
By neutralizing the ladybird pheromone trails with specialist treatments, we reduce the chances of repeat infestations each autumn.
✅ Risk-Free for People and Pets:
Our methods comply with BPCA, RSPH, COSHH, and HSE guidelines, meaning treatments are both effective and safe for your family, employees and pets.
