They return to my house twice ,,,,,,,,,Lots,,,


Second storm is the is the end of summer,,, in the NW Corner…

First invasion was today……….

Invasive from china,,,,,,,,cant get in and spray prior…..

Yes, those Asian beetles are HORRIBLE around here the last few years. They typically show up Spring and Fall and get into everything. The South side of the house will be covered with them and they stink too.

And they Bite

We get swarms in VA. They'll find any opening to get in your house that they can. I've tried various sprays like Bifin when they arrive, but don't know that I'm having much success.

Been spared them the last few years, maybe they dont like the droughts.

How many of you having the Asian lady bug issues have soybeans growing in your regions?

During the daytime the front of my house (facing the sun) is covered with maple beetles.

Every year it's been bad, my fields are in beans.

Used to have ladybugs here in mass until the stink bugs showed up
I'll take ladybugs over stink bugs any day

We had that problem, had the Plunket guy spray the house and out buildings. Not sure what they use but it's over 99% effective, Half a dozen would make it in the house.

The government turns them loose by the bag full to control the pine bark beetle. Do you ever see bags just hanging from limbs along the road? Asian beetles.

Having stink bugs

No soybeans around here.

they hide in my windows!

We had them terrible 5-6 years ago. They followed the sugarcane aphids north. My wife vacuumed a pickup load of the dang things

Lady bugs don't bite, but these little buggers sure do. I don't know if they are, but they should be listed as an invasive species. We vacuum them up and your whole house stinks with the smell.

The asian marmorated stink bug is our main culprit these days. The worst part is the damage the immature beetles do to our crops. Between them and the asian spotted-wing fruit fly we lose thousands in crop damage every year.

It's that time of year. It's nothing new. Getting cold and they want in.

There's a difference between lady bug (our friends)



And


Asian lady beetles (annoying invasive)

We had the stink bugs bad a few years ago, last two years not many, killed 3 so far, they like the south side of the house on sunny afternoons when it starts getting in the 40's at night...I spray them with a dish soap vinegar solution... good entertainment in the afternoon, lol

My understanding is that when a certain aphid started impacting yields in U.S. soybeans (remember, soybeans in the U.S. has only been grown commercially for about a 100 years and not on large scale until the later 1950s), USDA people looked around for a native control to the aphids and imported the "Asian lady bug" to take on the soybean aphids. Now, in Vinke's area where they don't grow soy, perhaps the biting lady bugs are now acclimatized to all parts of temperate North America OR if they are used in western conifer forests for some other insect control, than maybe that's where they come from in non-soy cultivation areas.

I think soybeans only surpassed all wheat in the 1980s as the 2nd most grown crop in the U.S. by overall area planted but I'll check my sources at the office tomorrow.

I have witnessed a lady bug bloom. It was unreal. I could scoop up hand fulls of them. It was incredible

This Harris product works very well. Amazon has it if you don’t have
Local dealer

Tempo or suspended

Not many here in the desert.....killed about 30 scorpions this year ......none in my bed this year though

Quite a few walking sticks this last few yrss

This product works better and will kill Antis scorpions also

This is available at my coop and online
I like Suspend better

Tempo works great. I used to just spray around the windows and doors. Now (for about the last 8 years) I spray the entire house and garage. Soy beans or corn, doesn't matter. The first frost sends them looking for a place to crawl into.

We don't have them but we do have these godawful, Box Elder bugs, they get every where, birds don't eat them, bad weather don't take them out, have to wait until is winter cold to knock them down, was in bed one night and half asleep and felt something crawling down my ear, and dug that sucker out before he could set up shop, it's crazy here in the fall with them !!

We get Asian lady beetles every fall. They are attracted to white and cover the south (sunny)side of our house. Started spaying the home defense insecticide. Helps cut down on the number that get in he house.
