A New Berlin homeowner reached out for help with an overwhelming boxelder bug issue. The pests had become particularly active on their home’s East, South, and West sides due to those areas receiving the most sunlight. Seeking professional boxelder bug pest control, they contacted us to mitigate the infestation and prevent further problems.
Thorough Inspection and Treatment Plan
Upon arrival, our technician performed a detailed inspection of the property, focusing on cracks, crevices, doors, windows, gutters, soffits, siding seams, and vents—common access points for boxelder bugs. We explained to the homeowner that our goal was to perform a reduction treatment, minimizing the infestation rather than eliminating it entirely, as boxelder bugs must come into contact with the treatment to be effectively controlled.
Effective Boxelder Bug Pest Control Strategy
To combat the infestation, we applied a light, full-coverage spray across the affected sides of the home, ensuring that the exterior surfaces were treated thoroughly. This boxelder treatment helped reduce the infestation by 85-90%, preventing a full-scale invasion while managing expectations that some boxelder bugs would still appear.
Our treatment included carefully targeting the areas where boxelder bugs frequent the most. Around doors and windows, we meticulously applied insecticide to every visible crack while also sealing off potential entry points in gutters, soffits, and vents. These small openings are often overlooked, but they are crucial to keeping the pests from entering the home. Our solution is designed to be long-lasting but remains safe for the home and the surrounding environment.
Ongoing Pest Control Services and Recommendations
We recommended scheduling this treatment in late September or early October for optimal results, as it’s the ideal time for reducing the boxelder bug population before winter. These pests are especially drawn to warmth in the cooler months, so proactive measures are critical. Professional pest control services and vigilant monitoring will help keep the bugs from overwhelming the home, ensuring long-term relief. In addition, we recommended keeping an eye on any structural changes, such as new cracks or damaged siding, which could allow the bugs easier access in the future.
