Ladybirds are invading UK homes for warmth, but experts say they’re harmless to people.

Swarms of ladybirds are entering homes across the UK as colder weather prompts their seasonal migration indoors for warmth. Residents report hundreds of the beetles on windows and walls, sparking concern despite experts stating they are harmless to humans. Although the insects are non-native and may carry sexually transmitted diseases, the risk to people is minimal. Authorities urge sealing entry points to prevent infestations, as the phenomenon is a recurring annual event.
