Boxelder Bugs: A Utah Nuisance

Boxelder bugs are a common pest in Utah, particularly during the fall months. These small, red insects can be a nuisance, both inside and outside homes.

Boxelder bugs are small, oval-shaped insects with a reddish-brown color. They are often found congregating on the sunny sides of buildings, particularly in the fall when they seek shelter from the cold weather.
