Box Elder Bug Control

Box Elder Bug Facts

Box elder bugs make their homes in box elder, maple, and ash trees where they feed and reproduce on the leaves and bark throughout the spring and summer. As the seasons change and temperatures outside begin to cool, box elder bugs like to migrate into people's homes to stay warm during the cold winter months. Though they do not cause structural damage to the home, their droppings are unsightly and can leave stains on furniture and linens.

Box Elder Bug Treatment

The most straightforward way to prevent box elder bugs from gathering near your home is to remove the box elder, maple, or ash trees that the insects are attracted to. This, however, isn’t always an option and may not be desirable as these trees bring welcome shade and attractive foliage to the area. 

So long as these trees remain, they will attract box elder bugs, which means the next line of defense is to manage pest control on your home. By identifying and sealing entry points and treating areas where box elder bugs gather, it is possible to prevent them from entering your home and resting indoors during the winter. 

If you would like to prevent box elder bugs or are seeing an increase in activity as the seasons change, it is time to set up a free inspection and have a Fast Action Pest technician manage the situation.

Box Elder Bug Prevention

You can prevent box elder bugs from invading your home by using a number of methods:

  • Remove box elder, maple, or ash trees from the surrounding area.
  • Seal cracks and crevices where insects can maneuver and linger through winter.
  • Install door sweeps on exterior doors and repair screens on vents and windows.

Whether you’re hoping to prevent box elder bugs or are already noticing increased activity, a free inspection from a Fast Action Pest technician can help keep your home protected.

Denis has been providing services to my property for a while now. He is exceptionally versed with their products. He communicates well and always asks if there is anything I want him to focus on during this visit.
