Ladybugs, also known as ladybird beetles, are currently swarming homes and structures in the southern U.S. due to colder temperatures driving them indoors. While they may be an annoyance when invading homes, these insects are actually beneficial to gardens and landscapes as they are effective predators of soft-bodied insect pests like aphids. Homeowners can remove ladybugs by using a vacuum cleaner and implementing exclusion methods to prevent future entry, ensuring a pest-free environment.
