Boxelder Bugs

While boxelder bug bites are rare, they can pierce the skin with their mouthparts, leaving a red spot that can be mistaken for a mosquito bite. Unlike crushing the spotted lanternfly, crushing a boxelder bug is not recommended since they often let off an unpleasant odor in defense when handled or smashed. We know all about boxelder bugs and the best way to control them. Boxelder bug waste is an orange and red liquid that can stain fabrics so calling in a boxelder bug exterminator like OPC is your best bet.

We’re passionate about controlling boxelder bugs because we live and work here – it’s our neighborhood, too. We’ve been keeping homes and businesses in Kentucky, Indiana, and portions of Ohio safe from pests since 1972. OPC Pest Services has the experience you can trust.
