Encouraging natural enemies, excluding female box elder trees (Acer negundo), and growing strong-scented plants are natural ways of eliminating box elder bugs (Boisea trivittata) outdoors. Sealing cracks and fissures and vacuuming colonies off walls are natural ways of eliminating them indoors.

The box elder tree is not named after the box elder bug. The trees in question (Acer negundo) receive their name from the similarity of their white wood to that of a boxwood and of their pinnately compound foliage to that of an elder. The name-saking serves the other way around, with the insects in question (Boisea trivittata) being linked with their favorite food source.
The adults are about 12½ mm (½ in) long.
The Boxelder bug is of the Hemiptera-Heteroptera Order. Class-Insecta. Family-Rhopalidae.
Plant body parts are the prey of the box elder bug (Boisea trivittata).Specifically, box elder bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts. This kind of mouth enables the box elder bug to feed on soft plant tissue such as flowers and leaves. They also can feed on twigs if the latter are young. Additionally, they prefer these plant body parts to be on ash, boxelder (Acer negundo) and maple (Acer spp) trees.
No, box elder bugs do not have red blood. They nevertheless have liquids which circulate internally and which may be released under stress and with death.
it would depend on the problem it's having
Red as eggs and nymphs and dark black/brown and red as adults are the colors of the box elder bug.Specifically, the box elder bug (Boisea trivittata) goes through incomplete metamorphosis. This means that it completes three development stages. Red predominates as the color throughout the egg, nymph and adult stages.
The male is bigger than the female in the case of box elder bug gender sizes. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) also may be differentiated by the more bright orange-colored abdomens of the male.
