They can also reside in pipes that are present outside the house and corners of the window frames. Seal these openings and caulk them so that the Asian lady beetles cannot enter them.
The best insecticide to get rid of Asian lady beetles permethrin. This insecticide would prevent the beetles coming even in the future.
