Boxelder Bug Control in Elko, Nevada

Boxelder bug control in Elko follows the same fall calendar as stink bugs. Boxelder bugs are identified by the red or orange markings on their black bodies and are attracted to the boxelder, maple, and ash trees common in the landscape.

The treatment is a perimeter barrier applied in September, focusing on the sun-exposed surfaces where the bugs cluster.

What to expect from your Boxelder Bug Control visit
