How do I know if I have a major infestation of Boxelder bugs?
You know you have to get rid of box elder bugs if you see them crawling out of electrical wall outlets, ceiling lights or fans, or other cracks inside the house.
Do Boxelder bugs bite? Are Boxelder bugs dangerous?
Boxelder bugs don’t bite; they can’t transmit disease; they don’t eat or contaminate our food; and they don’t cause structural damage. But they can be a significant nuisance when congregating in large numbers in and around your Southeastern MA home..
