Why Are Ladybugs In My Home?

Instead, they approached and entered because they needed shelter from the cold weather during the winter months. Thanks to their compact size, ladybugs can slip through the smallest cracks on the exterior walls of your home. Overwintering pests need to shelter during winter to guarantee their survival. Since ladybugs fit into this category, they will attempt to sneak into your home before the cold weather.
