Expert Response

These are all various stages of an insect known as the boxelder bug. Great information on this insect is all contained in the following publication written by the University of Minnesota: https://extension.umn.edu/nuisance-insects/boxelder-bugs#pesticides-117863  Look under the section, "Keeping boxelder bugs out of your home" for management information. Note that fall is the best time to treat since they congregate in late summer, early fall. Be sure to look at the active ingredients listed on a product label to ensure it contains one of the active ingredients recommended in the publication.
