Boxelder Bug

Boxelder Bug Control and Removal Services in Missoula, MT

​Boxelder bugs are a common nuisance in Missoula, Montana, especially during the warmer months when they seek shelter in and around homes and businesses. Guardian Pest Solutions offers specialized boxelder bug control and removal services tailored to the unique needs of Missoula residents and businesses.​



Understanding Boxelder Bugs in Missoula

Boxelder bugs are small insects, about ½ inch long, with distinctive black bodies and red or orange markings. They primarily feed on the seeds of boxelder trees, which are prevalent in the Missoula area, as well as other maples and ash trees. While they do not cause significant harm to these trees, their tendency to congregate in large numbers on buildings and homes can be problematic. As temperatures drop in the fall, boxelder bugs seek warmth and often find their way into structures through cracks and crevices, becoming an indoor nuisance.​

The Importance of Professional Boxelder Bug Control

Attempting to manage a boxelder bug infestation without professional assistance can be challenging. These pests are adept at finding entry points into buildings, and their sheer numbers can make DIY methods ineffective. Moreover, improper handling can lead to stains on walls, curtains, and furniture due to the red pigment they excrete when crushed. Professional pest control services, like those offered by Guardian Pest Solutions, ensure that infestations are addressed thoroughly and preventatively.​
