Boxelder Bugs
Keep the orange-and-black crowd outside.

Sunny exterior walls, attics, near maple and boxelder trees.
Signs of an infestation
- Clusters on south-facing siding
- Black smudge stains on stucco
- Bugs trapped in light fixtures
Prevention tips
- Treat perimeter in late August
- Repair torn screens
- Trim back boxelder seed pods
