How To Get Rid Of Boxelder Bugs

Having boxelder bugs is the kind of pest problem that can feel overwhelming. These bugs come by the hundreds and even thousands. They look like an unsightly mess when they clump in massive groups on the side of homes, and when they litter walkways and driveways. But, by now, the cold winter temperatures have driven them inside. If you’re wondering how to get rid of boxelder bugs during the winter, you’re probably dealing with bugs in your curtains, bugs on your walls, bugs in your kitchen, and large masses of bugs in your garage. Here’s what you need to know.

If you do a search for how to get rid of boxelder bugs, you will quickly learn that boxelder bugs aren’t all that difficult to kill. All it takes is a solution of soapy water. But this answer isn’t going to help much once they’ve gotten inside. You can’t spray every inch of your home, attic spaces, and garage with water.

When they get in, the best thing to do is vacuum them up. If you have a ton of boxelder bugs, you’re going to need to rent an industrial vacuum. Your house vacuum may not be up for the challenge. When you’re done sucking the bugs up, be sure to dispose of the bag outside.

You may notice quickly that more bugs will come to take the place of the bugs that were sucked up. This is because boxelder bugs can get into wall voids and other pockets in your home that you can’t get to.
