Effective Boxelder Bug Control for Your Home

Boxelder bugs may seem harmless when you first notice a few around your home, but they can quickly appear in large numbers. They commonly gather on exterior walls, windows, doors, siding, and other areas that receive sunlight.

As temperatures begin to change, boxelder bugs may also look for protected spaces where they can shelter. This can lead to unwanted activity around windows, doors, wall voids, attics, and other areas of the home.

Our boxelder bug control services focus on treating areas where these pests are active and identifying conditions that may be contributing to the problem.

Our Boxelder Bug Control Process

1. Inspect the Property

We begin by looking at where boxelder bugs are gathering and identifying potential entry points around your home. Our technicians look at exterior walls, windows, doors, foundations, landscaping, and other areas where boxelder bugs commonly congregate.

2. Target Active Areas

We apply targeted pest control treatments to areas where boxelder bugs are active or likely to enter the home. Treatment is based on the conditions around your property and the level of pest activity present.

3. Help Reduce Future Activity

After treatment, we’ll identify potential entry points and conditions that may contribute to recurring boxelder bug problems. Addressing these areas can help reduce the number of pests finding their way into your home.

Why Are Boxelder Bugs Around My Home?

Boxelder bugs are commonly associated with boxelder, maple, and ash trees, which can provide food and shelter for these pests.

They may become especially noticeable when temperatures change. During warmer periods, boxelder bugs can gather on sunny exterior surfaces. As temperatures drop, they may seek protected areas around structures where they can shelter.

Common places to find boxelder bugs include:

Exterior walls and siding
Windows and window frames
Doors and door frames
Around foundations
Under siding and other exterior gaps
Around trees and landscaping
Garages and other protected areas

Why Choose Get Lost for Boxelder Bug Control?

Boxelder bugs can be difficult to manage once they begin gathering around a home in large numbers. Simply removing the bugs you see indoors doesn’t address the larger population outside or how they’re getting inside.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called this company after doing some research and spoke directly to the owner. He was consultative about what I actually needed. When his tech came out - he was unbelievably thorough!  He spent well over an hour on my property. Probably close to two. Best Pest Control experience I have had.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and very kind and informative! I recommend them to everyone! I also had a hornet’s nest and Dave, the owner, made time personally to come deal with it the very next day! It was such a relief after I was stung numerous times and was worried about my doggos.

When Are Boxelder Bugs Most Active?

Boxelder bugs are primarily a seasonal pest. Their activity can increase during warmer parts of the year, particularly when they are feeding and reproducing.

As temperatures begin to cool, boxelder bugs may seek shelter around homes and other structures. This is often when homeowners notice larger numbers gathering around exterior walls, windows, and other sunny areas.

Because their activity is closely tied to seasonal conditions, addressing exterior activity and potential entry points can be an important part of managing boxelder bugs around your home.

How Can I Keep Boxelder Bugs Out of My Home?

There are several steps homeowners can take to reduce potential boxelder bug entry points.

Inspect and seal cracks around windows and doors
Repair damaged screens
Seal gaps around the home’s exterior
Keep vegetation trimmed away from the structure
Remove debris and unnecessary materials around the foundation
Check areas where utilities and pipes enter the home
Keep doors and windows closed when possible during periods of heavy activity

These steps can help reduce opportunities for boxelder bugs to enter, but they may not be enough when large numbers are already present around the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there so many boxelder bugs around my house?

Boxelder bugs may gather around homes because they provide sunny surfaces, shelter, and potential entry points. Nearby boxelder, maple, or ash trees can also contribute to increased activity around a property.

Do boxelder bugs damage my home?

Boxelder bugs are primarily considered a nuisance pest. They generally do not cause the type of structural damage associated with wood-destroying insects, but large numbers around your home can be difficult and frustrating to manage.

Can boxelder bugs get inside my house?

Yes. Boxelder bugs can enter through small cracks, gaps, damaged screens, and other openings around the exterior of your home. They may also seek protected areas inside structures as temperatures change.

Why do boxelder bugs come inside in the fall?

As temperatures cool, boxelder bugs may seek sheltered locations to protect themselves from colder conditions. Homes and other structures can provide convenient places for them to shelter.

How do I get rid of boxelder bugs?

Removing visible bugs can provide temporary relief, but it doesn’t address the larger population outside. Professional boxelder bug control can target active areas around the property and help reduce opportunities for the pests to enter your home.

Are boxelder bugs dangerous?

Boxelder bugs are generally considered a nuisance rather than a dangerous household pest. However, large populations can become a significant annoyance when they gather around your home or enter indoor spaces.
