Box Elder Bugs
Box elder bugs hibernate in the cold-weather months. That can be a problem if they decide to do it inside your home. These invaders can infest in huge numbers, sheltering in attic or wall cavities. Their foul-smelling, red droppings create a stench and badly stain your interior and exterior walls, making your home look like a scene from a horror movie. Bug Ivey can banish these pests and restore the serenity of your home.
About Box Elder Bugs
Bugs feed on the leaves of box elder trees, which are plentiful in the Carolinas. Adults are black-winged insects with red and orange markings, measuring approximately ½ inch in length. Nymphs are bright red and wingless. While box elder bugs live in the trees during the spring and summer months, they seek shelter to hibernate to survive the colder months. They show up on the sunny side of the house, chasing the radiant heat energy to survive. They can invade your home in vast numbers. While indoors, they do not reproduce. Thankfully, they’re not poisonous and do not bite people or pets. However, they produce a foul-smelling red excrement that stains the walls inside and outside of your home.
Trying to handle box elder bug infestations yourself will only make matters worse.
