the only thing i find about them that IS a good reason to kill them is that they are (and have since the 70s when they were introduced into North America) detrimental to the the native population of ladybugs (the red ones) and also, these guys can bite and there's also a possibility you might have a allergic reaction to the bite. I have handled a bunch of these guys and never been bitten, but my anecdotical evidence is not something to go off of.
