There is a rather important difference between ladybugs and Asian ladybugs. Ladybugs are relatively cute and good for the environment because they attack parasites. Asian ladybugs also attack parasites, but they are not as harmless as the average ladybug. They are invasive, they bite, and are very likely to invade your home in swarms.
There are many ways to tell the difference between a ladybug and an Asian ladybug. An Asian ladybug has an “M” shape near its head, while a ladybug does not. Asian ladybugs like to come into your house, while ladybugs prefer to stay outside. Asian ladybugs leave a nasty yellow liquid and bite, while ladybugs do not tend to do either of these things.
Asian ladybugs tend to invade homes when the weather is cooler. They seek refuge in the corners of your home, trying to find a warm place. Fortunately, a Facebook user found a solution to prevent Asian ladybugs from invading his home, and it worked wonders.

Autumn McWhorter shared that to solve the problem, two cups of hot water, four tablespoons of sugar and four drops of detergent should be mixed in a mason’s jar. Leave the mason jar out, and the Asian ladybugs will be attracted to the solution. Once inside the jar, they cannot get out.
So, if you’re tired of watching annoying Asian ladybugs invade your home, try this solution for a quick, cheap and effective hack. Thanks for sharing this great advice, Autumn!
