This time of year it is very common to notice an uptick of box elder bugs coming into your home or business. These bugs are trying to find a warm place to live in order to survive the cold Minnesota winter. Box elder bugs measure about 1/2-inch long, and they are mostly black with orange or red markings, including three stripes on the prothorax, the area right behind the head.

Box Elder Bug Extermination
Box Elder bugs feed exclusively on the vegetation and seeds that they find on the ground during spring and early summer, and then begin mating a few weeks after they begin feeding. By mid-July each year, these bugs migrate to female seed-bearing boxelder trees where they lay eggs on trunks, branches, and leaves. Box Elder bugs can also feed on maple or ash trees. Interestingly, there is no noticeable injury to these trees or disease that comes as a result of this feeding. As the weather cools, boxelder bugs push into cracks and spaces in and around your home, looking for warmth in order to survive the winter. They can be find in attics, around windows and eventually will come into your living space. If you see a few of them in your home, this may signal many more.
