Boisea trivittata
Boxelder bugs are a signature Wisconsin nuisance pest, congregating on sunny sides of buildings in enormous numbers during fall. Named after boxelder trees (Acer negundo), which are abundant throughout Waukesha County, these black-and-red insects seek warm overwintering sites in wall voids and attics. While harmless, their sheer numbers and staining potential make them a top fall pest concern.
Boxelder bugs swarm south-facing walls in fall seeking winter shelter. They're attracted to heat radiating from your home. Professional perimeter treatment before their migration is the most effective prevention.
Boxelder bugs don't bite or cause structural damage, but they stain surfaces with their excrement and can invade in overwhelming numbers. They also emit an unpleasant odor when crushed.
