What Are Boxelder Bugs?
Boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata) are common in Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah, Manitowoc, Waupaca, and surrounding areas. They’re known for:
*Their black bodies with red or orange markings.
*Swarming in large numbers, especially in fall and spring.
*Gathering on walls, windows, and siding in warm sunlight.
