WHAT CAN YOU DO?
The answer is: Not a whole lot. To explain..
There are, of course, dozens of chemicals that are registered for the boxelder bug. In addition to that, there are dozens of exterminators that are ready, willing and able to come out to your house and do something.
Save your money. Chemicals (sprayed inside your home) are NOT the answer. A much better solution is always at hand. Use your vacuum cleaner. If you spray them yourself, you're going to get everything all greasy with insecticides, because you'll use too much - everyone does. Don't squash them, you'll get red stains. On top of that, they also have a foul odor when crushed. The ol' vacuum cleaner is your best bet.
Lady bugs control the box elder problem.
Not necessary. Just use the garden hose and spray them away.
Only sure way is to get rid of the box elder tree!
