Boxelders are often first noticed when large numbers of black insects with red or orange markings begin gathering on the sunny sides of homes, particularly in late summer and fall. They commonly cluster around windows, siding, foundations, and other exterior surfaces as they search for warmth and shelter.
Homeowners may also find them indoors near window frames, doorways, or light fixtures after they slip through small cracks and gaps. While they typically do not cause structural damage, repeated indoor sightings and heavy exterior clustering are strong signs of an established population nearby that may continue returning seasonally without proper prevention measures.
