Boxelder bugs are predominantly black, with reddish orange markings on the outside edges of their wings. They are shaped like slightly flattened ovals. Boxelder bugs have six legs and two antennae. These bugs are typically found around boxelder trees, which serve as their primary food source. Discoloration of leaves may be the first sign of a boxelder bug infestation, as the pests prefer to feed on new foliage and tender twigs.
Boxelder bugs are often noticed on the southern side of structures in the fall, as they warm themselves in the sun. As the days get cooler, boxelder bugs will move into cracks in the walls of a house to overwinter, at times in large numbers. While they will not damage the structure of a building, no one wants to host a large number of insects as uninvited houseguests until Spring arrives.
