Best Answer

Access through opened, unscreened doors and windows and through unrepaired cracks, crevices, and fissures are ways in which box elder bugs get inside houses. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) do not find it particularly challenging to move from herbaceous and woody food sources to cold-weather refuges indoors. Closing and opening doors and windows may be difficult to control but the other above-mentioned entryways easily can be repaired.
