Black and red bugs covering the sunny side of the house every fall. They are harmless, and we can keep them outside.
Box elder bug control is treating the sunny walls and entry points they gather on before they move inside for winter. In St. Louis they feed on box elder and maple trees all summer, then cluster on warm walls in fall. Zero Pest covers box elder bugs on the quarterly Home Shield plan, with the fall visit focused on keeping them out.
A fall invader tied to a few kinds of trees.
Black with red stripes on the back, about half an inch long.
Small and red. They feed on seeds in summer.
Female box elder and maple trees nearby mean more bugs.
They pile up on warm south and west walls in September and October.
Vacuum them up indoors. Crushing them can leave stains.
We find the sunny walls, gaps and entry points they use.
A late-summer and fall barrier on the walls and eaves where they gather.
We point out window, siding and vent gaps worth sealing.
Vacuum them up, don't squish them. We treat the entry points.
Every 90 days, plus free re-service between visits.
It depends mostly on the trees next door.
Mature maples in Kirkwood, Webster Groves and Ballwin feed big populations.
Warm brick walls are a favorite fall gathering spot.
Young maples and box elders in newer subdivisions bring them in.
No separate box elder bugs charge. Exact price depends on the size of your home.
