Protecting Your Home in Saugerties, NY
— Agent X —
At CrittereX, we understand the concern that comes with discovering hundreds of ladybugs clustering in your home—covering windows, gathering in corners, or leaving stains on walls and fabrics. But you don't have to resort to harsh chemicals or methods that harm these beneficial insects. Serving Saugerties, Kingston, Woodstock, and surrounding areas, our comprehensive approach addresses both immediate invasions and long-term prevention. If you're dealing with an Asian beetle infestation, read on to learn how CrittereX can help.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Ladybug & Asian Beetle Control
We take a thorough approach to managing these seasonal invaders, addressing both immediate infestations and long-term prevention:
- Thorough Property Inspection:
- Targeted Perimeter Treatments:
- Exclusion & Sealing Services:
- Interior Control & Cleanup:
Our process starts with an in-depth assessment of your home's exterior. We identify common entry points such as gaps around windows, doors, siding, soffits, and utility penetrations where Asian beetles typically gain access to wall voids and attic spaces.
Using eco-friendly and family-safe products, we apply barrier treatments to your home's exterior before peak invasion season. These treatments create a protective shield that prevents beetles from establishing themselves on and inside your home.
The most effective long-term solution is keeping beetles out in the first place. We identify and seal gaps, cracks, and openings that allow these pests entry, providing lasting protection season after season.
If beetles have already invaded your living spaces, we provide thorough control services. We use specialized vacuum equipment to safely remove large populations without crushing them—which releases their unpleasant defensive odor and can stain surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ladybug & Asian Beetle Control
Q: When is the best time to treat for Asian Lady Beetles?
A: The ideal time for perimeter treatments is late summer to early fall, before beetles begin seeking shelter. However, we can help at any stage of an infestation.
Q: Are Asian Lady Beetles the same as ladybugs?
A: No. Asian Lady Beetles (Harmonia axyridis) are an invasive species that look similar but behave differently—they invade homes in large numbers, can bite, and release a foul odor when disturbed.
Q: Will the beetles come back next year?
A: Asian beetles release pheromones that attract others to the same location year after year. Our exclusion services and annual treatments break this cycle for lasting protection.
