Pest We Treat : Boxelder Bugs

Boxelder bugs are nuisance pests that can find their way into your home through chimneys, windows, doors, and vents. While it is uncommon, boxelder bugs do have the ability to bite. However, they are mostly just annoying invaders that release an unpleasant odor when killed. As they search for warmth in the late fall months, these bugs may find their way into your home and bring in germs or create unsanitary conditions.

How to Identify Boxelder Bugs

Boxelder bugs are in the same family as stink bugs or cicadas. They can be identified by their small, flat bodies, which range from bright red (when young), to black and orange (when adults). They do have wings, which are tucked into their bodies when they are crawling around. Mostly common in the late summer or fall months, they are attracted to warm areas and drawn to southern- or western-facing homes.

What customers are saying

My Pest Pros has provided quality service to us for several years. Each technician, especially Chris, provides excellent service and suggestions for solving any problems we might have. We definitely recommend them.

Anne PriorFairfax, VA

The technician handling our property, Mr. Hargrove, is obviously quite capable. He has, from the first visit, explained what he was doing and fully answered all our questions. The results of his efforts are evident in the fact that the latest visit provided evidence that the infestation was not spreading and also none of the "bait" had been consumed since his last visit. Thank you for providing us with the services of this fine gentleman. We would have no problems recommending him and your firm to friends and neighbors.

Chris came out to my house in a timely manner. He showed me where mice had been eating the bait in one of the traps. I appreciate learning more about rodent control. Chris was informative and polite. Thanks.

Barbara LassArlington, VA

The young man that came by my house today to do a treatment was "excellent!" He noticed in my backyard there were ant hills and he immediately sprayed that area. All I can say was keep up the good work Sinjay.
