Boxelder Bugs

Boxelder bugs, also known as true bugs, are found all over North America and are frequently found on boxelder trees, maple trees, and ash trees. They mainly enjoy feeding on tree seeds and newly developing leaves. These bugs are not necessarily harmful but are a nuisance of a pest as they can release a pungent smell when threatened or disturbed.

How To Identify Boxelder Bugs

These smelly bugs are known for their dark brown or black coloration, red wing veins, markings on their abdomens, and red nymphs. Like most bugs, they have six legs and two antennae, but if you smell something funky, you can guess it's a boxelder bug. During certain times of the year, these pests group together while sunning themselves on warm surfaces near their host tree. They are seen in and around your windows and are always active until it becomes cold.
