Box elder bugs are common throughout Minnesota. They are black in color and are worked by red lines along their back and sides. Their wings are flat and red in color and they usually grow between 11 to 15 mm in length.
Although they may seem common all the time, in actuality box elders do not nest indoors year-round. They make their homes in box elder, maple and ash trees during warmer seasons and migrate into buildings and homes to find shelter from the cold. Due to the cold temperatures in Andover, Coon Rapids, Oak Grove and Ham Lake, Minnesota it is common to have box elder bugs nest in your home. Oftentimes, when the weather cools off, the bugs will sense the warmer temperature and make their way indoors and usually in areas of a structure’s walls. Although they do not cause damage to buildings, their droppings are unappealing and can leave stains on furniture, carpet, clothes and other fabrics. Read Full Post

Spiders are common insects that are found all over the United States. Most of the spiders in Minnesota like moisture and are found in basements, crawl spaces and other damp parts of housing. Spiders produce silk that is elastic, adhesive and strong. The silk is used to spin webs as well as to construct egg sacs and line spider dwellings. Some spiders do not use webs, but rather burrow and live in crevices.
