You will continue to see Asian lady beetles and boxelder bugs outside your home. They are sun bathers and will continually come to rest on the sunny sides of your home as the treatment takes effect. Eventually, the population will reduce and you will no longer see them.

If preventative measures were not taken in the fall, they will likely show up in your home once the weather starts to warm up. Learn more about their behavioral patterns.
