Boxelder Bugs questions from Champlain Valley residents
Boxelder bugs don't bite or cause structural damage. They're a nuisance pest that stains surfaces when crushed. Large numbers can be overwhelming but pose no real threat.
Boxelder bugs seek warm surfaces for overwintering. South-facing walls with sun exposure are most attractive. Nearby boxelder or maple trees provide summer food sources.
Fall exclusion work seals entry points before migration. We apply botanical repellents to exterior walls and address gaps around windows and siding.
Removing female boxelder trees (those with seed pods) can reduce populations. However, bugs may still come from neighboring properties. Exclusion is often more practical.
