Boxelder Bugs Don’t Bite — But They Sure Do Bug You

Boxelder bugs may not damage your home or carry disease, but once they find a cozy spot to overwinter, they’ll move in by the hundreds. They gather on sunny walls in the fall, sneak into cracks and crevices, and emerge again in spring.

At CE Solution, we specialize in proactive and effective treatments that stop these seasonal invaders from turning your home or business into a winter hotel.

Why Boxelder Bugs Invade Midwest Homes

Boxelder bugs are highly active in late summer and fall. They gather in large groups on sun-warmed surfaces, especially on the south and west sides of buildings. From there, they work their way inside — through gaps around windows, siding, doors, and vents.

While not harmful, they stain surfaces, emit a foul odor when crushed, and are a huge nuisance in large numbers.

Signs of a Boxelder Bug Infestation

  • Large clusters of bugs on siding, windows, or doors
  • Bugs appearing indoors around windows or lights (especially in spring and fall)
  • Red-orange markings on black, flat-bodied bugs
  • Droppings or smudges around entry points or curtains

How CE Solution Stops Boxelder Bugs

We take a proactive, seasonal approach to keep your home protected:

  • Inspection
    We identify high-risk entry points and outdoor gathering areas.

  • Perimeter Treatment
    We apply barrier treatments to stop bugs before they come inside.

  • Indoor Treatment (If Needed)
    We’ll safely treat indoor areas where boxelders have already made their way in.

We recommend treating in late summer or early fall for the best results — before boxelders start looking for shelter.

Based in Niles, MI, we’re proud to serve our neighbors across Michigan and Indiana with trusted seasonal pest protection.
