Boxelder Bug Control in Salt Lake City
Inspection-Led Service for Homes & Businesses
We provide boxelder bug control in Salt Lake City for homes, rental properties, offices, and storefronts. Our service begins with an inspection of active pest areas, exterior entry points, and property conditions so we can recommend a treatment plan suited to the building and seasonal activity.
Boxelder bugs often gather on sunny exterior walls as temperatures fall, then enter through openings around windows, doors, siding, and rooflines. We offer responsible treatment options designed with families, pets, property, and the surrounding environment in mind. Follow-up visits and preventative service are available when continued attention is needed.
Call (801) 290-8619 to request an inspection and discuss boxelder bug service for your property.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Boxelder Bugs?
Boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata) are black outdoor insects with reddish-orange markings along their wings and abdomen. Adults are about one-half inch long, while nymphs, or “baby” boxelder bugs, are bright red.
They use a proboscis, an elongated sucking mouthpart, to feed on tree seeds, plant juices, and some fruits. They generally don’t cause lasting plant damage. Reach out to us today for pest control services in Salt Lake City.

Why Do I Have a Boxelder Bug Problem?
Boxelder bugs live outside throughout most of the year, feeding and breeding around boxelder trees and other seed-bearing trees. As temperatures cool in fall, the adults seek warmth and gather on sunny exterior siding. They can move indoors through cracks in walls, openings around windows and doors, and spaces along the roofline.
During an inspection, we evaluate active gathering areas, potential entry points, and property conditions that may contribute to recurring seasonal activity. These findings guide our recommendations for boxelder control in Salt Lake City.
Where Will I Find Boxelder Bugs?
The boxelder tree is the bug’s preferred host, and these pests may gather there in large numbers.
Outside, boxelder bugs crawl over the bark and branches of host trees. They may also gather around maple, ash, cherry, and plum trees, as well as warm, sunny sides of structures.
Indoors, boxelder bugs move into dry, warm, dark spaces. They often gather in attics, vents, crawl spaces, and wall voids. When the weather warms in the spring, they may move back outside to feed, breed, and continue their life cycle.
