The boxelder bug<\/a> is one insect that is not often seen by most people throughout the spring and summer.\u00a0 These black and orange colored bugs with red markings are about \u00bd of an inch long and.\u00a0 Nymph boxelder bugs can easily be seen during all stages of its growth due to its bright red coloring.\u00a0 After they emerge from overwintering, boxelder bugs will initially feed on the ground and then move onto a female seed bearing boxelder tree in July.\u00a0 Most boxelder bugs will remain undisturbed in the tree feeding and laying eggs.\u00a0 Boxelder bugs<\/a> also may choose to live on maple or ash trees.\u00a0 No trees are ever harmed by these insects.<\/p>\n

Like other insects, boxelder bugs will seek out a place to spend the winter months in the fall to escape the cold weather.\u00a0 They are especially attracted to warmth.\u00a0 Homes with a western or southern exposure are particularly desirable.\u00a0 Like other types of insects, boxelder bugs will push their way into cracks or crevices, crawl through unsecured screens, crawl through doors with damaged seals, or creep into the attic.\u00a0 Once inside a protected area, they will remain throughout the winter until the warmth of spring draws them back out again.<\/p>\n

Boxelder bugs are not dangerous, but they will stain walls, curtains, and furniture if they make it from their overwintering spots into the interior of your home.\u00a0 It is recommended that you hire a Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> to keep these pests from coming inside during the early fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
