Meqt near the Community Extremely hot, dry conditions caused boxelder bug infestations in 2002 by Diane Alston and Alan II. Roe, Utah State University Extension Entomologists Feel like the black and red bugs are taking oval-shape- over? Youre not alone. Boxelder bugs have been especially troublesome this year. These insects have been a widespread problem because they thrive in hot, dry conditions. Multiple years of Utah drought have allowed higher than average survival rates. (And since there are no major insect parasites or diseases that affect them, their survival rate is already high.) Warm temperatures during the summer promote fast development and growth and, thus, a higher population of insects. Youre not imagining it, they really are worse this year. Consider this information. Adult boxelder bugs like to spend the winter in dry, sheltered areas, such as in foundation cracks and crevices, windows, leaves, hedges and ditches. They often become active on warm winter days and emerge from their hiding plact-s- , then return to their shelter as temperatures drop at the end of the day. Boxelder bugs prefer warm surfaces and are often found in large numbers on the south side of houses and buildings. Boxelder bugs enjoy a number of hosts including maple and ash trees, strawberries, plums, cherries, peaches, apples, grapes and grasses. However, the largest numbers can be found on fe- male boxelder trees where they feed primarily on the de- adults. (However, bugs can be reduced by spray- ing them treat plants with this rate, as damage may occur. Periodic reapplication will be required as long as bugs continue to congregate.

Use water or mechanical means to remove congregating bugs during this time. (emul-sifiabl- e drop. stripping around doors and windows. Screen attic vents and repair broken windows and screens.

These bugs are generally not considered injurious to or- namental plantings, but are known to damage fruit. Damage to strawberries and other fruits occurs primarily in the fall when the bugs migrate from boxelder trees to winter quarters.

However, the overall value of the tree usually far outweighs the jiotential benefit of reducing the bugs.
