LADYBUG PEST CONTROL
GARDENER’S FRIEND, HOMEOWNER’S FOE
The ladybug is common throughout Michigan. If you’re a gardener, you know the benefits of having them feed on destructive aphids, a most common and harmful garden pest. However, in late summer and early fall, ladybugs often seek shelter in homes and commercial buildings in mass quantities to overwinter. They appear again in mass quantities in the spring when the warm weather triggers them to return outside to normal activity. They often return to the same locales due to pheromones left at an attractive overwintering site. To ensure that ladybugs don’t make your home or business their favorite overwintering site, you should call on a professional to eradicate them.
Buckmaster Pest Control has the needed industry knowledge and experience to eliminate ladybugs in your home, address points of entry, and deliver treatment to prevent future infestations.
