What causes boxelder bug infestations?

Boxelder bug infestations are caused by the search for shelter, particularly during the colder months. These bugs are attracted to warm, sunny areas on buildings and often enter homes through cracks and openings. Overgrown vegetation and boxelder trees near homes can also attract these pests.

How do I get rid of a boxelder bug infestation?

To get rid of a boxelder bug infestation, start by sealing cracks and openings in walls, windows, and doors to prevent their entry. Remove boxelder trees and other host plants near your home. Use insecticidal sprays on infested areas outside your home. Vacuum up any bugs found indoors and dispose of them properly. Reduce outdoor lighting at night to minimize attraction. Clear away any leaf litter, debris, or woodpiles near the home that can serve as hiding places. Ensure window and door screens are intact and fit properly. Consider applying residual insecticides around potential entry points during the fall to prevent bugs from entering as they seek shelter. Regularly inspect the exterior of your home and seal any new gaps or cracks that may develop. If the infestation persists, contact Aptive for a targeted pest plan that includes ongoing monitoring and professional treatment options to effectively manage boxelder bug populations.
