The box elder bug is an insect that spends its summers in the
trees, most commonly infesting the female box elder tree. A female tree
can be determined by looking at the underside of the leaf. If female,
there will be seeds embedded there. Not widely known is that box elder
bugs also love maple trees.

| BOX ELDER BUGS |
Box elder bugs will generally leave the trees in the fall looking
for a comfortable, warm home to spend the winter. It follows any
escaping heat path to get into your home and, once inside, will
simply wait out the winter. Spring is the time box elder bugs will try to
leave your home as they have not had food or moisture since the
previous fall. As the temperatures inside are relatively the same as
outside in the spring, they sometimes get confused and end up
inside your home in large numbers, generally congregating at
south-facing windows.

Spring is when we get our greatest
number of requests for treatment; however,
box elder bugs are best treated in the fall.
This may be one of the insects where our
treatments are more effective than the
homeowners. We are licensed to apply
residual pesticides versus contact
insecticides commonly sold in stores. The
greatest difference between what we are
licensed to apply versus what you can buy is
how long it controls, not how strong it is
initially. One treatment generally repels box
elder bugs for an entire fall, which greatly
reduces the number you see in the spring.
Some companies choose to generate
revenue by still chasing spring treatments.
Unfortunately, spring treatments are limited
and are only effective at killing those that
can not find their way out. This job is usually
best left to a good vacuum cleaner which will
keep unnecessary pesticides out of your
home.
