Signs of a Box Elder Infestation
Knowing how to identify a box elder infestation is crucial for timely intervention and effective pest control. Some common signs of a box elder infestation include:
- Large congregations of black and red-orange bugs on the sunny sides of buildings, trees, and other structures.
- Box Elders inside your home or business. For every Box Elder you see inside, there are many more you don’t see.
- Stains and unpleasant odors around door jambs, window seals, or curtains.
If you have a box elder tree on your property, you likely have been dealing with Box Elders every year as the seasons change and they seek refuge. The good news is that with preventive treatment you can easily keep the bugs out. If the box elders have already invaded your home or business this season, call The Bee Guy right away for effective extermination services.
BOX ELDER BUG TRAITS
Box elder bugs look like small black and red beetles about half an inch long, which tend to gather in large colonies. During cold winter months, box elder bugs move to warmer environments - like your home or business. Check for them around building foundations and ground-floor windows. Search for cracks and crevices in windows and doors, or surfaces that get a lot of direct sunlight. Also, be sure to check if you have their summertime home (the Boxelder tree) anywhere around you, be on the lookout when it starts to get cold.
Although box elder bugs rarely bite, their feces can stain curtains, clothing, and other materials. So, despite only being a seasonal pest, they can leave a lasting mark that just might reoccur year-after-year if not professionally handled. Don’t wait for Wisconsin to get warmer before you’re free of box elder bugs—contact The Bee Guy for fast results.
