Why Is My New York City Property Under A Box Elder Bug Attack?

Boxelder bugs are overwintering pests that initiate home infiltration attempts beginning in the late fall. These attempts are part of an effort to spend winter indoors instead of outdoors exposed to the elements – snow, sleet, icy rain, cold wind, and low temperatures.

Small cracks and gaps are utilized by box elder bugs to infiltrate buildings.

Are Box Elder Bugs Infested With Disease?

No, the box elder bug is not an insect species that spread disease through bites. Since the home infiltration attempt is part of the overwintering process, the risk of food- and water-borne illnesses is extremely low. Overwintering pests are more interested in a warm hiding place than ingesting food following a home infiltration.

Boxelder bugs are nuisance pests, not disease-transmitting pests.
