Professional Grade Treatment

Licensed, insured technicians perform thorough inspections and build a customized plan — not just a spray. We find the source, eliminate breeding grounds, and create a lasting barrier.

Super Hero Guarantee

If mosquitoes return between treatments, we come back at no extra charge. That’s the Mosquito Man promise.

Our Method

Our Unique Approach To Boxelders Control

We take a unique approach to Boxelders control. We arrive to your property and do a perimter spray around the yard, gardens, patios and/or anywhere else that we may find Boxelders located. Every time you cut your grass or trim your trees, the product we applied disappears. Also, extended periods of rainfall lower the efficacy of the product. Therefore, treating your yard once a year is enough to significantly reduce the Boxelders population in your yard. Learn more about our approach.

initial inspection

A trained specialist will perform an inspection to examine the size of your yard and the density of your foliage through seeing your property on google earth. This step will help us set a final price!
Upon arrival, your technician will also look for signs of Boxelders or mosquitoes and identify potential breeding grounds.

Exterior Treatment

Your technician will then safely treat your entire yard with a Boxelders treatment, targeting trees, bushes, shrubs, and other heavily wooded areas. We’ll then return between Spring and Fall to inspect and treat your yard once again.

Pest Control in Across Canada

Professional Boxelder Bug Control Across Canada

Boxelder bugs are nuisance insects commonly associated with boxelder and other maple trees. They may gather on trees, fences, patios, exterior walls, and other sun-exposed surfaces.

As temperatures begin to decline, adult boxelder bugs often seek protected overwintering locations. They can enter buildings through gaps around windows, doors, siding, soffits, and other exterior openings.

Although boxelder bugs do not typically damage structural wood or reproduce inside heated homes, large numbers can create an ongoing nuisance. They may also leave stains when crushed.

Mosquito Man’s approach begins with an assessment of the property and visible pest activity. The company’s exterior treatment focuses on suitable perimeter areas, gardens, patios, trees, shrubs, and other locations where boxelder bugs are found.

Treatment planning considers the size of the property, vegetation, active locations, and seasonal conditions. Exterior applications may become less effective following prolonged rainfall or changes to treated vegetation.

Our 5-Step Boxelder Bug Control Process

Step 1

Inspect the Property for Boxelder Bug Activity

A technician assesses the property to identify visible boxelder bugs and the areas where they gather.

Inspection may include foundations, exterior walls, windows, doors, patios, gardens, trees, shrubs, and other suitable locations.

Step 2

Identify Activity Areas and Entry Points

The technician examines the locations where boxelder bugs are concentrated and identifies accessible openings that may allow them to enter the building.

Attention is given to sun-exposed walls, siding gaps, window frames, door openings, and sheltered exterior areas.

Step 3

Develop a Property-Specific Treatment Plan

Treatment planning considers the extent of activity, property size, vegetation, accessibility, and weather conditions.

The technician identifies suitable exterior locations for targeted application.

Step 4

Apply Targeted Exterior Treatment

The technician treats appropriate exterior perimeter areas and identified boxelder bug activity locations.

Depending on inspection findings, treatment may focus on foundations, patios, gardens, trees, shrubs, and other suitable outdoor surfaces.

Applications follow product-label directions and the technician’s safety instructions.

Step 5

Recommend Prevention and Monitor Activity

The technician identifies practical measures that may help reduce recurring activity and indoor entry.

Recommendations may include maintaining window screens, addressing accessible structural gaps, and monitoring sun-exposed exterior surfaces during seasonal aggregation periods.

Canadian Seasonal Boxelder Bug Control Calendar

January–February

Adults may remain sheltered in protected overwintering locations

Monitor indoor sightings near windows, walls, and sheltered spaces where boxelder bugs may remain protected during colder conditions.

March–April

Overwintered adults may become active as temperatures rise

Inspect sunny walls, foundations, windows, and exterior openings as rising temperatures may increase boxelder bug activity.

May–June

Outdoor feeding and reproduction may occur around suitable host trees

Monitor boxelder and maple trees, gardens, and nearby exterior structures where outdoor activity may occur.

Active Season

July–August

Outdoor populations develop during warmer weather

Check trees, shrubs, patios, fences, and exterior activity areas where warmer weather may support increased boxelder bug populations.

September–October

Adults may gather on warm, sun-exposed buildings before overwintering

Focus on foundations, siding, windows, doors, and structural entry points where boxelder bugs may gather before overwintering.

November–December

Outdoor activity generally declines with colder temperatures

Monitor sheltered locations and address accessible exterior gaps where boxelder bugs may seek protected areas during colder weather.

In Ontario, late summer and early fall are particularly important periods for monitoring boxelder bugs around residential buildings. South- and west-facing walls may attract aggregations because they receive afternoon sunlight. Seasonal timing varies with local temperatures, weather, and the presence of suitable host trees.

Situation

A homeowner notices large numbers of red-and-black insects gathering on a south-facing exterior wall during September. Some begin appearing around nearby windows.

Pest

Boxelder bugs

Situation

Expected Outcome

The treatment addresses identified activity areas while monitoring helps determine whether further seasonal attention is needed.

From the Mosquito Man Boxelder Bug Control Team

“Boxelder bugs often gather around sunny exterior walls and sheltered entry points as temperatures begin to change. We inspect the property, identify where activity is concentrated, and apply targeted exterior treatment to suitable areas. We also help homeowners understand which structural openings may allow these nuisance insects indoors.”
