Asian Lady Beetle Control

Asian Lady Beetles (Harmonia Axyridis)

The Asian lady beetle resembles a North American ladybug and gets its name because it is actually a different species that was artificially introduced to North America from Asia to control aphids. Asian lady beetles have become common in the Minnesota since the year 2000. The species is considered to be one of the world's most invasive insects. Asian lady beetles release an unpleasant smelling pheromone that attracts other Asian lady beetles, allowing them to invade homes over winter in large swarms. Asian lady beetles can leave a smell of dead leaves to discourage predators and bite if provoked.
