It is not at all uncommon for Minnesotans to see ladybugs inside your homes and businesses in the colder months, though ladybugs typically hunker down for the winter within the bark of a tree. When inside a home or business, you’re likely to see them around windowsills and door trims, or on the ceiling. Do note that they do not pose any threat to people, pets, or the structure of your home. They also do not breed or multiply
As the summer begins to come to a close and fall looms around the corner, days will begin to become shorter and overnight temperatures will begin to drop. As this occurs, Minnesota residents will notice Asian Ladybugs coming into homes and businesses. While the ladybugs seem to benefit gardeners by helping to control the invasive aphids, there is no benefit to having them inside your living space
As a Minnesota pest control company, it’s not uncommon to receive phone calls about an invasion of ladybugs within a residential or commercial residence. When we receive these calls, however, we immediately start thinking about the ladybugs look-alike bug, the Asian beetle. Asian beetles look very similar to ladybugs but are distinctly different.
Box Elder bugs, while they are harmless to humans they can cause some major issues in and around the home. They are considered nuisance bugs and are known for popping up in large numbers. Lately, we have seen a number of rising Box Elder bug infestations around Coon Rapids, Anoka, and Blaine, MN. This is because winter is coming and their search for warmth and survival just happens to be in your home. At Eco Tech, we are your area’s greatest asset when it comes to getting rid of these creepy crawlers. If you have a Box Elder bug problem, Eco Tech can help.
Multicolored Asian lady beetles are extremely common throughout most of the United States and parts of Canada. They prefer the four seasons which makes them extremely popular in Minnesota. During the summer time we often see infestations of Asian Beetles and they can be extremely troublesome. The scientific name is Harmonia axyridis (Pallas). This is one of a very large family of beetles known as Coccinellidae. Many people call these beetles “ladybugs.”
