In normal concentrations, it poses no danger to the tree, its wood or to human health. It is simply a nuisance. http://www.entomology.cornell.edu/public/IthacaCampus/ExtOutreach/DiagnosticLab/Factsheets/Boxelder.html

Is box elder soft wood or hard wood?
The division of trees into hardwood and softwood by a botanic measure is misleading. e.g. balsa is a hardwood! This old style division is in fact based on the seed reproduction - flowering or coniferous. A better descriptor is angiosperm or gymnosperm. Gymnosperm have 'naked' seeds - your conifers. And directly to your question, as a flowering tree, box elder is an angiosperm - or hardwood in the obsolete naming.

But nobody or nothing really enjoys a box elder bug meal. In fact, the orange colors on the top of the bug's body is just that sort of warning to nature. Generally, orange or red coloring means awful smell and bad taste, in nature.
