Boxelder Bugs Identify, Understand, and Outsmart Common Pests

Professional Boxelder Bug Control in Kennewick, WA

Are unsightly black and red bugs gathering around your home or business? You’re not alone—boxelder bugs are a common issue in Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and the greater Tri-Cities region. At Proterra Pest Control, our team has years of hands-on experience providing safe, effective boxelder bug control. We use proven, eco-friendly methods to keep your property pest-free—backed by local expertise and a satisfaction guarantee.

What Are Boxelder Bugs?

Boxelder bugs are recognizable by their black bodies and bright red or orange markings. They typically cluster on sunny outdoor surfaces and feed on boxelder, maple, and ash trees. As temperatures drop, these pests look for warmth indoors, often squeezing into cracks, window frames, and wall voids. While they don't bite or cause structural damage, large infestations can stain surfaces, create unpleasant odors, and quickly become a nuisance.

Did you know? Boxelder bugs can sometimes overwinter in hidden indoor spaces, emerging in large numbers as soon as spring arrives. Acting early with professional boxelder bug pest solutions is the best way to prevent ongoing problems.
