OMG we are plagued with ladiebirds again this year 1000's of them. Thanfully we have put up some nets screening all around the balcony but some of the little critters are still getting in. The nets are smothered with them but they don't show up on the photos because of the sunshine. Guess won't be stepping outside the balconly for the rest of the day. Oh and the bit too. We had them last year it was a nightmare, hence the nets this year. Anyone else got them?

Once again this year we have Aisian Beetles (look the same a ladybirds) but these little critter bite.  The balcony nets are covered in them and worst of all is they are getting inside the nets just don't know how.  We also have flying shield beetles.  Tried the spray from the tin, any killer, ant power and also got bug killer from the shop, you add to water nothing worked even tryied vinager and water spray.  The Aisian Beetles die by evening and the balconly is like a graveyard.  But next day they are back again in their 1000's

Oh by the way please check the roof of your dogs/cats mouths, see photo below

Well the Aisian beetles have more or less died out now but the sheild beetle is just everywhere even in the house now and they smell not an unpleasent smell but you know they are there

Would you believe it the first bit of sunshine and heat out comes these little critters, they are not ladybirds as I thought. They are  Aisian Beetles and they swarm and can give a nasty bite.  I told a friend these ladybirds bite but she said no, they don't until she came here and got about 4 bites it was around then we found out they were  Aisian Beetles and of course you can see what they can do to the dogs mouth.  I have sprayed all around but to be honest I have no idea where they are coming from unless they are coming out of the villa wall itself. They cannot get in the balcony unless the door is open. There was about t 50 of them there since I SPARAYED no more has appeared.

Oh ahhhhhh they are discusting little critters just found this on the net: Will now have to get cemical spray before the real heat starts and spray everywhere inside and out.
