Boxelder Bugs
Although boxelder bugs (Leptocoris trivittatus 'Say') cause little or insignificant damage to boxelder trees or other host plants, they are irritant pests in and around structures. Similar to multicolored Asian lady beetles, cluster flies, and other seasonal invaders, boxelder bugs seek overwintering sites in and around buildings. Consequently, many people elect to call their pest management professional (PMP) to remove these unwanted pests. Besides their nuisance presence, if crushed, they may stain walls and white surfaces. Dead boxelder bugs in wall voids attract hide beetles, larder beetles, carpet beetles, carpenter ants and other insects that love to feed on them.
From a pest management standpoint, it is necessary to prevent the invasion of boxelder bugs before they enter homes.
