Boxelder Control Riverside

Tired Of Boxelder Bugs Taking Over Your Home?

If you are seeing red and black bugs clustering on the sunny side of your house, gathering around windows and doors, or wandering into your living room, you are not alone. Boxelder bugs are a persistent seasonal nuisance here in Riverside and they can make your home or rental property look and feel constantly under siege. Vacuuming, spraying store products, and sweeping them away might help for a day or two, but it often feels like they just keep coming back.

At Compass Pest Management, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with these bugs year after year. As a family-owned pest control company based in Riverside since 1997, we have helped thousands of local homeowners and property managers reduce boxelder infestations and keep them from taking over again when the weather warms up. Our goal is to give you clear answers, practical options, and long-term focused solutions, not just another quick spray that leaves you in the same spot next season.

More than 90 percent of our business comes from repeat customers who return to us for everything from seasonal nuisance pests to termites and rodents. That kind of loyalty grows when people see real results and feel they are being treated fairly. If you are ready for a local team that understands both boxelder bugs and homes in this part of the Inland Empire, you are in the right place.

How Our Team Handles Boxelder Bugs For Lasting Relief

To get ahead of boxelder bugs, we start by understanding exactly how they are using your property. These insects often gather on warm, south or west facing walls, around windows, eaves, and siding, and they slip inside through even very small gaps. Our team focuses on finding those pathways and pressure points so treatment is precise and effective, not random.

Thorough Inspection Of Home & Landscape

During your service, one of our trained technicians will walk the exterior of your home or building and look for the specific conditions boxelder bugs love. This can include nearby boxelder or maple trees, warm stucco or siding, gaps around windows and doors, openings around utility penetrations, and vents or screens that provide easy access. We talk through what we see with you in plain language so you know exactly what is going on and where the bugs are getting in.

Targeted Treatment Based On Pest Biology

Once we understand your situation, we design a treatment plan that fits how your property is built and how heavy the boxelder activity is. Our team uses premium, industrial-grade products that are selected and applied with pest biology in mind, rather than relying on generic over the counter sprays. Some of our staff members are Associate Certified Entomologists and we use that scientific background to time and target treatments around peak activity, especially when boxelder bugs are congregating heavily on exterior surfaces.

What You Can Do About Boxelder Bugs Before & After Service

Even before a technician arrives, there are simple steps you can take to reduce mess and make your home less welcoming to boxelder bugs. These do not replace professional treatment for heavy or recurring infestations, but they can give you more control and help support our work.

Practical Steps You Can Take Right Away

First, it is usually better to vacuum boxelder bugs rather than crush them. Crushing can leave stains and odors on walls, curtains, and hard surfaces. Using a vacuum with a bag or a removable canister lets you collect larger numbers quickly and then dispose of them outside. Wiping down surfaces where they gather with mild soap and water can also help remove scent trails and residue.

Next, take a quick tour of your windows, doors, and utility areas. Look for torn screens, gaps around frames, missing caulk, and worn weatherstripping. Simple repairs can go a long way toward cutting down on the number of bugs that manage to make their way indoors.
