The products in the Overwintering Kit will kill insects year round. We do recommend you apply them in early fall to prevent the insects from moving in. Once the insects are in they are a bit harder to control because they harbor in inaccessible areas. You can apply the dust to the interior cracks and crevices and the Demon to the window and door frames and baseboards to help control these pests now. Using a vacuum with a hose attachment is also a quick way to get rid of these pests.

There are many products on the market that have a long lasting residual. Unfortunately, all of them will only have very limited results. Lady bugs move into structures to overwinter. They usually squeeze into wall voids, false ceilings, attics and other areas that are inaccessible to people and insecticides. As the heat kicks on in the house, the lady bugs warm up and start becoming active and emerge from hiding, driving residents nuts. Because most folks usually have no idea where the bugs are harboring you can only treat around baseboards, door frames and window frames and hope the insects will emerge where you have sprayed. After they contact the treated areas, it can take several hours for them to die. It is still worth spraying now to get rid of some of the bugs, but you will keep seeing them until spring when they will emerge en masse and leave the building. They do not eat, mate or lay eggs while indoors so need to worry about any damage or future baby lady bugs. This year you can be proactive by stopping these pests before they move in for the winter. We would suggest our overwintering kit for stink bugs, lady bugs and other similar pests. 

You probably are dealing with cluster flies in addition to the lady bugs or Asian beetles, which are both overwintering pests that move indoors as temperatures cool, and then often come inside inadvertently as temperatures warm again. The Overwintering Kit has two great products to treat for these pests, although Suspend SC and Talstar P that you are already using will do a great job for an insecticide as well. Adding the CimeXa Insecticide Dust offers an additional barrier of protection, especially in tricky areas like under siding and in wall voids. For better control, we recommend taking a good look at ways to exclude these pests from entering the structure, check sealing around windows, doors, and where utilities enter the home. You should focus your treatments on sides of the house where you get the most afternoon and evening sunlight, as this is where these pests tend to gather most. Many customer also get great additional control using Insect Fly Light Traps inside to help capture cluster flies that have made their way indoors. You will not be able to complete eradicate them at this time of year, however, be sure to treat preventatively in late Summer and through the Fall going forward to keep these pests out.

We would recommend using the Overwintering Kit for Stink Bugs, Lady Bugs and Boxelder Bugs. It has everything in it that you will need to do a complete treatment. STEP 1 - SPRAY - Temprid SC Temprid SC is a liquid concentrate that must be diluted with water and applied with a hand pump sprayer. Temprid SC has two active ingredients that provide both quick knockdown and residual control to help prevent stink bugs and similar pests from entering the structure. *Always wear gloves such as Nitrile Chemical Resistant gloves when handling and mixing pesticides. *To mix the Temprid SC, fill sprayer tank 1/3 - 1/2 with clean, temperate water. Shake Temprid SC before opening, then add desired amount of Temprid SC Insecticide Concentrate to sprayer tank. Shake or agitate mixture before adding remainder of water, then agitate again before spraying. *For initial treatment, use 2 x 8mL packets per gallon of water. *For follow up treatments, use 1 x 8mL packet per gallon of water. *Temprid SC should be sprayed around the outside of the home to create a protective barrier to keep bugs from getting inside. Spray about 3 ft. up the side of the house, and about 3-5 ft. out from the structure from the base of the foundation (spraying directly on the ground) -- this will give you a powerful continuous barrier against pests. *Spray around window frames, door frames, any cracks and crevices around foundation or where caulking around windows and doors has opened up, around vents leading inside, and around lights (these bugs are attracted to the light from windows, doors, etc.). *Concentrate spot treatments on the sides of the home that receive afternoon and/or full sunlight. *Spot treat indoors along window frames, door frames, garage doors, attic vents, and where utilities enter. *Keep pets and children out of the treatment area while spraying and until the application has dried, usually about an hour. *Try to use up all the spray mixture in one application. If spray solution is stored overnight, re-agitate the tank before spraying. *Do not apply Temprid SC to edible plants such as vegetable gardens or fruit trees. *Repeat treatment every 30 days through the Fall or until the first frost. STEP 2 - DUST - CimeXa Insecticide Dust and Bellow Hand Duster For the best control of stink bugs and similar pests, apply CimeXa Dust both indoors and in cracks and crevices outdoors. CimeXa Dust is all natural and contains no active ingredients that degrade in sunlight or over time. Using the included bellow hand duster ensures accurate applications into areas where dust will not be easily moved or washed away by rainfall. *After your insecticide spray has dried, you can apply the insecticide dust. *Using insecticide dust can be very messy, so be sure to wear gloves and consider having a moist paper towel handy to clean up excess dust indoors. *To fill the Bellow Hand Duster, remove the black rubber stopper on top of the duster. Gently unscrew the white top of the CimeXa dust, then slowly tap the dust into the duster. Fill the duster up to halfway (or less), so there is plenty of room for the dust to move inside the duster. *You may want to add a few small objects such as coins, pebbles, or marbles to prevent clumping inside the duster. *Replace the black stopper so that it fits snugly into the opening. Remove the black rubber cap from the end of the extension wand. To apply dust, hold the duster upside down, so that the extension wand is on top, then gently squeeze the bellows between the thumb and fingers. *Apply insecticide dust to cracks and crevices such as: around window and door frames around areas where cables, pipes and wires enter the structure around eaves and soffits any crack, crevice or gap where pests can enter *Dust can also be used indoors in cracks and crevices where the dust will not easily be removed or disturbed, such as behind outlet covers, under baseboards, around pipe collars, and under and behind cabinets. *Re-apply insecticide dust every 6 months. *See our Video for more tips on dusting.  

We generally recommend using our Overwintering Kit for stink bugs, lady bugs and boxelder bugs. This kit comes with everything you will need to do a complete treatment.  The treatment should begin before temperatures drop and pests start searching for places to harbor for the winter. Relying on treatments in the Spring, when pests are moving back outdoors, will provide limited results. Your first treatment should be in August, before the weather begins to cool, and continue through November or until the first frost of the Fall. The best treatment for overwintering pests is preventative treatment. STEP 1 - SPRAY - Bifen IT Bifen IT is a liquid concentrate that must be diluted with water and applied with a hand pump sprayer.

Our Overwintering Kit  would be great for treating for Asian Beetles/Lady Bugs. The key is to treat early enough (early fall) and to apply the product in the right places. Asian beetles enter the structure through cracks and crevices, especially around windows and doors. Be sure to treat these areas thoroughly once a month through November.
