Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When do the boxelder bugs appear in Callahan?

They gather on the sunny walls in the fall, usually September through October, then overwinter in the gaps and the wall voids, and re-emerge on the warm days of early spring.

Q: Why do I have so many boxelder bugs?

They are drawn to the boxelder and maple trees for feeding, and to the sunny walls for warmth. The numbers build where the host trees are close to the house.

Q: Are boxelder bugs harmful?

No. They are a nuisance pest that does not bite or damage the structure, but the clusters and the odor are a problem when they gather in large numbers.

Q: Do you treat the trees or just the house?

We treat both. The trees are where they feed and gather, and the house is where they enter, so the treatment covers both to break the cycle.
