The Asian Ladybeetle Song
Matthew Hess
Verse 1
When autumn paints the maples gold,
And daylight fades a little cold,
Tiny bugs with spotted sheen
Come marching from the fields so green.
Harmonia axyridis—hear the name,
Asian lady beetles come to stake their claim.
Drawn by warmth and sunny walls,
South-facing bricks, bright window halls.
They slip through gaps you’ll never see,
Eaves and siding, cracks run free,
Diapause calls them, instincts say:
“Find a shelter—winter’s on the way!”
Pre-Chorus
They cluster tight in aggregation,
Guided by pheromone communication,
Not born indoors, but nests inside,
Just overwinter til spring arrives.
Chorus
Ohhh, they’re helpers in the field, it’s true,
Eating aphids by the hundreds through!
Predators bold with a useful role,
Providing needed biological control!
But when they swarm your attic beams,
And stain your walls with defensive means
That’s when the music softly ends…
And Four Seasons Pest Solutions must step in.
Verse 2
Imported once to save the crops,
From soybean fields to orchard tops,
They feast on pests with mandibles sharp,
A farmer’s friend, orange with spots.
But unlike the ladybugs you knew,
These will bite and sometimes ooze
Reflex bleeding, yellow and foul,
Alkaloids don’t mess around
They don’t eat wood, they don’t lay eggs,
But find a crack, and they’ll infest
They just want warmth till spring returns,
Then back to the fields, the woods, the ferns
Pre-Chorus
Vacuuming won’t solve what’s wrong,
They’ll keep returning all season long,
Seal and treat with knowledge precise
This calls for science, not just advice.
Chorus
Yes, they’re helpers in the field, it’s true,
Eating aphids by the thousands through!
Beneficial till they cross the line,
From crop protection to invasion time.
When walls are crawling, stress begins,
And winter guests won’t leave again—
That’s when the harmony finds its tune
When Four Seasons makes your house immune
Bridge
Integrated plans, exclusion tight,
Targeted treatments done just right,
Not harming bees or breaking balance,
Science-led, no guesswork malice.
We stop the entry, break the trail,
No overwintering detail fails,
So come spring’s bloom and robin’s call,
Your home stays peaceful—no beetles at all.
Chorus
So sing with science, sing with care,
Know the why, the when, the where,
Respect their role out in the land,
But keep them out where families stand.
From first invasion to last goodbye,
With knowledge, care, and plans applied—
Your happily-ever-after’s found
When Four Seasons Pest Solutions comes around!
