Ladybirds riddled with STD invade British homes, warns pest control expert "seal your windows"

Swarms of ladybirds riddled with STDs are invading homes across Great Britain.

The insects, known as Harlequin Ladybugs, arrive from Asia and North America on a mild autumn wind and seek comfortable hibernation sites in homes.

Dozens of people have taken ladybugs in their living room, kitchen or bedroom, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Experts claim that foreign invaders, who have black wings instead of red wings, are not only very different from the British domestic ladybird, but actually pose a threat to domestic species, as they are carriers of A sexually transmitted disease called fungal disease Laboulbeniales.

The people of Manchester have reported large bunches of insects at home this week.

Creepy crawlies have been grouped around boilers, window frames and smoke detectors as they lay down for a witness.

Aaron Greenwood shared a photo of the insects assembling around a light in his apartment – but said that he would let them stay.

He said, "I've noticed all the articles on social networks regarding the ladybug invasion. I was with a close friend in my apartment having lunch and we both noticed a small flying insect in the room.

"My friend pointed out that it was a fly, I could say it was a ladybug as a fanatic of nature. This bird-bird flew near my light on the roof of my living room.

"To look at it more closely, I saw three others. So I got a straw and an envelope, then put them in a container and took them out. "

Debbie Phil Tighe wrote, "Today I have them all around my door and a few windows inside my window at the top of the stairs."

Andrea Atkins wrote, "My windows are covered and there are some in the house."

Peter Wilson shared the image of a ladybug resting on his shoulder after seeing a number of creatures traveling on the 50 bus.

Andrea Allen said he saw "hundreds or even thousands" on the trees in Hazel Grove.

Steve McGrail, director of the Pest Control Company Kill Environment, said that Harlequin ladybugs are not harmful to humans, but recommended sealing the windows to make sure they do not do not enter houses.

He said, "This is a non-native species. They enter in large numbers.

"They usually gather around the windows and assemble to gather the heat and hibernate in the winter."

Scientists say that a fungus carried by creatures, transmitted by breeding, will infect our native species already threatened by the loss of their habitat.

Although they still do not know if the fungus is harmful, the UK Ladybird Survey states that it is possible that the disease will affect the shelf life or the number of eggs that are present. a woman can produce during her life.
