What Are Boxelder Bugs?
Boxelder bugs look like more of a problem than they actually are. These creepy crawlies are mostly seen outdoors during the summertime, but they can quickly infiltrate your home through cracks and holes. They won’t do damage to your home, thankfully, but they can still stain surfaces and lead to some pretty serious hygiene problems. Boxelder bugs still require precision pest control when you think there’s an infestation.
They are related to stinkbugs and cicadas in the sense that they’re a “true bug.” When smashed or injured, they can release a stench that is designed to ward off predators, but it can just ultimately ruin the comfortable aesthetic of your home. We don’t recommend trying to squash them. They’re commonly identified as being black with orange or red line patterns on them and pointy antennae that help them navigate their way through your home.
Safe Pest Control Methods for Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder bugs are definitely one of the more “mild” forms of bugs that can infest your home. They’re easily dealt with by vacuuming them up or sweeping them away from areas where they’ve sought shelter. Once we seal away entry points so that they can’t continue to enter your home, we can focus on controlling the infestation.
This often includes chemicals such as borax, diatomaceous earth, boric acid, soap and water, or even certain herbs that ward them away. We can usually concentrate these materials into sprays that safely make the beetles flee and will ultimately help to remove them entirely.
Boxelder bugs are a mild pest to deal with, but they can still be a hassle. You’ll want to work with a licensed pest control expert to get this dealt with in a timely manner.
