Why boxelder bugs are common in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, with over 100,000 residents, is Montérégie's largest city after Longueuil. Its proximity to agricultural zones and the Richelieu River brings specific issues: field mice in fall, raccoons near farms, and commercial infestations (restaurants, motels) in tourist corridors. KZ serves the whole city.
The boxelder bug is the typical fall invasion on the South Shore — especially in zones with mature maple trees like Saint-Lambert, Boucherville and Old Longueuil. They seek warm overwintering sites and often find the sunny exterior of homes. Though they don't bite or damage structure, they enter by the hundreds through walls, windows and attics — re-emerging in spring. Treatment combines exterior eradication and physical exclusion.
