Are Those Red-and-Black Insects Boxelder Bugs? (Nope!)

They're actually golden rain tree bugs, which thrive in Lake Mary, Sanford, and all of central Florida!

If you live in Central Florida, you've likely seen red-and-black insects near your trees. Although these insects look like boxelder bugs, they're actually golden rain tree bugs - a close relative.

Gager Pest Control Inc. can control the population of these tree and lawn pests by spreading diatomaceous earth (DE powder) around the base of your plants and structures. Call 407-323-5465 now to arrange for pest control services in or around Lake Mary or Sanford, FL.
