Are they dangerous?
Ladybird beetles are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals. Ladybugs have a foul odor which deters some predators from eating them and their bright colors also help as a deterrent. They are considered more of a nuisance for homes and businesses and not a threat.

How can I prevent this in the future?
Ladybird beetles are attracted to the light colored houses and older homes tend to experience more ladybird beetle problems due to lack of adequate insulation. The beetles tend to come in through small cracks around windows, door ways and under clap boards. Proper insulation and sealing of potential openings may help to deter these pests.
