Box Elder Bugs
In Minnesota, boxelder bugs emerge from overwintering sites during spring as the brutal winters shift into sunnier days. The adults will be in search for low vegetation and seeds on the ground during spring and early summer, and begin mating a couple weeks after they started feeding. In mid July the females need to find seed-bearing boxelder trees (hence how they get their name) where they lay eggs on the trunks, branches and leaves. They are rarely found on male boxelder trees, and sometimes Boxelder bugs also feed on maple or ash trees.

Most people aren’t scared of ants because they don’t pose much harm to humans. They are however, very annoying pests that can quickly take over your home. If you see one ant crawling across one of the rooms in your home, chances are that plenty more have invaded your property. Rather than going to the local home improvement shop in Coon Rapids, Anoka or Blaine, MN and investing in ant-away spray that may not be chemically safe for your home, consider partnering with Eco Tech. Our experienced team provides all natural, organic pest control services that will focus solely on the ants that you are trying to get rid of.
Multicolored Asian lady beetles are extremely common throughout most of the United States and parts of Canada. They prefer the four seasons which makes them extremely popular in Minnesota. During the summer time we often see infestations of Asian Beetles and they can be extremely troublesome. The scientific name is Harmonia axyridis (Pallas). This is one of a very large family of beetles known as Coccinellidae. Many people call these beetles “ladybugs.”
