Boxelder Bugs and Stink Bugs: Fall's Worst Invaders Boxelder Bugs and Stink Bugs: Fall's Worst Invaders Boxelder Bugs and Stink Bugs: Fall's Worst Invaders Summary: Boxelder bugs and stink bugs both invade Chicagoland homes in early fall while searching for a place to overwinter. This guide explains why the two pests show up together,
Pumpkin season is coming... and unfortunately, some pests are looking for a place to spend the fall too. 🍂🐭🕷️
As temperatures change, pests may start searching for warmth, shelter, food, and moisture....and small gaps around your home can make an easy entry point.
Give your home a quick fall check:
🚪 Seal gaps around doors, windows, and the foundation.
🍂 Clear leaves and debris away from the home.
🌿 Trim landscaping back from exterior walls.
💧 Address moisture from leaks, clogged gutters, or poor drainage.
📦 Organize storage areas so pest activity is easier to spot.
A little preparation now can make your home less inviting when the weather starts getting colder.
Bring on the cozy season. Just leave the pests off the guest list. 😂🏠

Seeing these red-and-black bugs around your home?
You may be looking at boxelder bugs.
They often become more noticeable as seasons change and may gather around:
🏠 Sunny exterior walls
🪟 Windows
🚪 Doors
🌳 Boxelder & maple trees
They're mostly a nuisance, but large numbers around your home can definitely become annoying.
If they're gathering outside, check how they're getting in. 👀
Because nobody wants to discover a boxelder bug convention inside their house. 😅
Chicago may be enjoying the last stretch of summer, but rodents are already thinking about their next move. 🐭🍂
As temperatures cool down, homes can become more appealing for rodents looking for food, shelter, and a protected place to settle in.
Before fall arrives, take a walk around your property and check for:
🚪 Gaps around exterior doors and garage doors
🧱 Cracks or openings around the foundation
🔌 Openings around pipes, wires, and utilities
🌿 Overgrown vegetation touching the home
📦 Cluttered garages, sheds, and storage areas
The goal is simple: find the entry points before the rodents do. 👀
Because once a mouse decides your home is five-star real estate, getting it to check out isn't always easy. 😂🐭

Ever hear that chirp... chirp... chirp and wonder where it's coming from? 👀
Male crickets chirp primarily to attract females and communicate.
And they don't use their mouths to make that sound!
They create the familiar chirp by rubbing their wings together. 🎶🦗
So the next time you hear one...
That's not a tiny musician. It's a cricket looking for a date. 😂

REACTIVE:
"I'll call when I see a pest." 😬

"I'll find the conditions that attract them before they become a problem." 🔎
Sealing entry points, managing moisture and eliminating attractants can all help reduce pest opportunities.
Don't wait for the pest problem to introduce itself. 😉
Spiders don't exactly need a five-star hotel. 😂🕷️
Give them a quiet, sheltered spot with access to food, and they're pretty happy to move in.
Common hiding spots include:
📦 Storage areas & clutter
🏠 Garages, sheds & eaves
🚪 Around doors, windows & entry points
🌿 Landscaping close to the home
🌙 Dark, undisturbed corners
Regularly clearing clutter, trimming vegetation, and sealing potential entry points can help make your property a lot less inviting.
Found webs showing up in the same places over and over? That's worth paying attention to. 👀
