Having an insect infestation isn’t rare. No home or business has every gone without getting visited at some time by those mangy pests. In our home state of Minnesota, our states ecosystems are quite lush and therefore we have a lot of different insects. Why you ask. Example, Anoka, MN is home to over 100 species of trees and bushes, and because of this we are more vulnerable to needing a bug exterminator.

Box Elder bugs, while they are harmless to humans they can cause some major issues in and around the home. They are considered nuisance bugs and are known for popping up in large numbers. Lately, we have seen a number of rising Box Elder bug infestations around Coon Rapids, Anoka, and Blaine, MN. This is because winter is coming and their search for warmth and survival just happens to be in your home. At Eco Tech, we are your area’s greatest asset when it comes to getting rid of these creepy crawlers. If you have a Box Elder bug problem, Eco Tech can help.
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. Boxelders do not harm any trees as we know and are part of the functioning ecosystem.
When the weather shifts again and the fall sets in, boxelder bugs start to leave the trees from where they were laying eggs and feeding to find protected areas for the winter. Although nymphs may be present in the fall, only fully grown adults survive the winter. During this time boxelders will become attracted to homes to find warmth.
