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
