Abstract

The boxelder bug, Boisea trivattatus, is a common structural and agricultural insect pest found throughout North America. Unfortunately, current pest management methods are not effective for controlling boxelder bug populations. If discovered and developed attractants would provide an effective and environmentally responsible solution to boxelder bug management.
