The most effective time for treatment is in the late summer or early fall (August-September). This is a preventative approach that creates a barrier on your home before the bugs begin to swarm and try to get inside for the winter.

A nymph is the juvenile stage of a boxelder bug. They look like tiny, wingless versions of the adults and are often bright red. They spend the summer feeding on trees before maturing into the adults you see swarming in the fall.

Boxelder bugs do not cause structural damage to your home like termites. However, they do cause significant cosmetic damage. When crushed, they release a permanent red-brown fluid that stains siding, walls, curtains, and furniture. Dead bugs inside wall voids can also attract other pests like carpet beetles.
