Box Elder Bug Exterminators Serving Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA

Antworks pest control is a box elder bug exterminator serving the greater Portland-Vancouver area for over 20 years. Box elder bugs are a common pest here in the Pacific Northwest. Though these insects are most famous for infesting boxelder trees, they also frequently invade other areas and may even make their way indoors. Since colonies can have thousands of individual members, infestations can be challenging to eradicate once they take hold.

If you are struggling with box elder bugs in your home or on your property, call the experts at Antworks Pest Control today. Our exterminators have extensive experience with box elder bugs, and we are committed to developing a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and budget, without locking you into long-term contracts.

Box Elder Bug

What are Box Elder Bugs?

A black box elder bug with distinct red-orange markings; a common fall and spring nuisance pest found clustering on sun-exposed siding in Portland and Vancouver, WA.

Box elder bugs are common pests found in the Pacific Northwest, famously named for living and feeding on boxelder trees.

They are small, black insects with distinctive red or orange markings on their thorax and sides. Their bodies are flat and shaped like an elongated oval, and adults are capable of using their wings to fly as far as two miles at a time. Most box elder bugs measure between 11 and 14 mm long, or about half an inch. Box elder bugs aren’t aggressive, but can quickly become a nuisance for homeowners since colonies can exceed thousands of individual members.
