Asian beetles, also known as Asian lady beetles or Multicolored Asian Ladybugs, are small, oval-shaped beetles that range in color from yellow to red, often with black spots. They are commonly mistaken for native ladybugs but are considered pests due to their habit of invading homes.

While Asian beetles don’t pose serious health risks, they can be a nuisance. They can release a yellowish liquid that smells bad and can stain walls, furniture, and fabrics when disturbed. Some people may also experience allergic reactions to their presence.

Asian beetles seek out warm places to overwinter, and they are attracted to the sunny sides of buildings in the fall. Once they find entry points such as cracks around doors, windows, or vents, they may congregate inside homes in large numbers to survive the winter.

Asian beetles can bite, but their bites are mild and don’t cause significant harm. Some people may feel a slight pinch, but it’s usually more of an annoyance than a health risk.

Asian beetles don’t cause structural damage, but they can stain surfaces with the yellowish liquid they release when stressed. This liquid can leave unpleasant smells and discolor walls, furniture, and curtains.
