Pests We Treat Photo Album: Boxelder Bug Activity Found Around the Property in Mantoloking, NJ

Boxelder Bugs Around the Home

As we began our inspection, we found a massive amount of box elder bugs around the cracks and crevices of the home.

What Are Boxelder Bugs Exactly?

Boxelder bugs are overwintering insects that have reddish-orange markings on their backs. Boxelder bugs are not solitary bugs, in fact, they exist in large, gregarious groups. They hibernate together during the winter and in the spring, or when the temperature outside increases, females that have successfully overwintered, emerge and begin to forage for food.
