Outsmarting Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder bugs might not bite or sting, but their sheer numbers and seasonal invasions can quickly turn your home into a red-and-black battlefield.
The Lifecycle of Boxelder Bugs
These annoying insects are black with reddish or orange markings on their bodies. Their lifecycle begins in spring when they lay eggs on trees or in crevices, and the nymphs that hatch are bright red. By summer, they’ve grown into the adults we know, loathe, and occasionally squash with a flip-flop.
Boxelder bugs are not harmful to humans or pets, but their sheer numbers can be a nuisance. They invade our homes, particularly when the weather turns cool, seeking the warmth of our living rooms and kitchens. While we might admire their survival instincts, we don’t want them as houseguests.
How Long Do Boxelder Bugs Last?
Boxelder bugs can last longer than we’d prefer, like a guest overstaying their welcome. Once they make their way into your home, they’ll try to stick around until the weather warms up in spring. We’re talking about a hibernation period that can last several months if we let it! That’s why acting quickly and effectively is crucial to ensure these bugs don’t consider your home a permanent resort.
How do I keep Boxelder Bugs from coming back?
Squishing an individual bug might be satisfying, but the key to genuinely keeping Boxelder bugs at bay is a holistic approach that addresses the problem at its source. Barrier Pest Control’s effective treatment strategies can help you prevent these critters from returning.
