They are black with reddish-orange markings on their backs. You\u2019ll notice them most often in the fall and then again in the spring after the thaw.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"preventing-boxelder-bugs\">How Do I Keep Boxelder Bugs Away?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prairiepestcontrol.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/boxelder-bug-removal-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Like with many other pests, the key to keeping these guys out of your home is to make sure that the building is air-tight (i.e., seal up any cracks that would provide them entry). Don\u2019t kill them inside your walls as their carcasses could actually lure other pests.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the Asian lady beetles, your best removal method is with a vacuum cleaner. Clean the bag and filter afterward. Professional pest control services can be especially necessary to help you determine where these pests are entering your home and prevent future infestations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&lt;&lt; Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiepestcontrol.net\/household-pest-guide\/\">Pest Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fourth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;
