BOXELDER FAQS

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What are boxelder bugs?

    Box elder bugs are small, black insects with red or orange markings. They are commonly found in Michigan, especially near box elder trees. While they don’t bite or cause damage, they can become a nuisance when they enter homes in large numbers.

  • Are boxelder bugs harmful?

    Box elder bugs are not harmful to humans, pets, or your home. However, they can become an annoyance due to their numbers, and their droppings can stain walls, furniture, and curtains.

  • How can I prevent boxelder bugs from entering my home?

    You can prevent boxelder bugs by sealing cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundations, repairing damaged screens, and keeping your home’s exterior clean and clear of debris.

  • What attracts boxelder bugs to my home?

    Boxelder bugs are attracted to warm, sunny areas of your home, particularly on the south and west-facing walls. They may also be drawn to homes near box elder, maple, or ash trees.

  • What should I do if I have a boxelder tree on my property?

    Boxelder bugs are often found near box elder trees, but removing the tree isn’t always necessary. Instead, regular pest control treatments can manage the bugs and keep them from invading your home.

  • What should I do if I find box elder bugs in my home?

    If you find a few boxelder bugs, you can vacuum or sweep them up. However, if you’re dealing with a larger infestation, it’s best to contact Downriver Pest Control for professional treatment.
