Plunkett's Pest Control

09/07/2026

From horrifying giant insects to quirky critters, films about bugs have long captured our imagination, sometimes making us laugh, and other times making us check the corners of the room twice.

Whether it’s a suspenseful thriller or a lighthearted animated adventure, these tiny creatures have proven they can play big roles on the big screen.

Love them or hate them, bugs have a way of sticking with us long after the credits roll… 👀

What’s a bug movie that stuck with you?

They may look like harmless ladybugs, but Asian lady beetles can quickly become an indoor nuisance when temperatures begin to drop. 🐞🍂

In our video, a Plunkett’s technician explains why these fall invaders gather on sunny walls, how they squeeze through tiny gaps and why prevention is much easier than removing them once they’re inside.

Don’t wait until they’ve moved into your walls, attic or living spaces. Schedule a proactive exterior treatment with Plunkett’s today.

🍂 FALL INVADER OF THE WEEK: BOXELDER BUGS

Have you noticed black-and-orange bugs gathering on the sunny side of your home? Boxelder bugs often congregate on warm exterior surfaces in late summer and early fall before searching for a protected place to spend the winter.

While they don’t bite or cause significant property damage, large numbers can quickly become an indoor nuisance.

Sealing cracks and other potential entry points can help, but prevention works best before they move inside.

🍂 Fall Invaders Are On Their Way!

As temperatures begin to drop, pests start looking for a warm place to spend the colder months, and your home could be their next stop.

Boxelder bugs, Asian lady beetles, stink bugs, and cluster flies are common fall invaders that can sneak inside through small cracks and openings. Once they settle in, you may continue seeing them throughout the winter and again when temperatures warm up.

The key is to get ahead of them before they get inside. Plunkett’s Fall Invaders Program provides targeted exterior protection to help keep these seasonal pests where they belong: outside.

🏠 Prepare now. Enjoy fewer unwanted guests later.
