On warm days in September, October and November, these fall invaders tend to congregate on the outside of homes and buildings. You want to keep them outside where they belong by first sealing any gaps, cracks or crevices with caulk or some other means of physical exclusion. Because it is not practical to seal everything, you then need to supplement your work with Buggslayer - a residual insecticide that kills on contact.
Buggslayer is water-based, odorless, non-staining and can be used on siding, etc. You'll want to use our box elder bug / Asian lady beetle formula made for these fall invaders. Mix it in your Hudson or pump-up garden sprayer, at 4 oz per gallon, or try our new hose-end Ready-to-Spray.
It is very important to treat these pest outdoors before they can find shelter in your outside walls. Any insects (box elder bugs included) that actually make it all the way indoors signals you may have a significant infestation on your hands. Some may come in around doors and windows but if you are seeing these pests all winter, you may have hundreds sleeping in your walls. What do you do if these are already inside? Most experts recommend you just vacuum them up with a bagged vacuum cleaner and dispose of the bag in the trash. They will smell if you grab them with your hand. If you try to use an insecticide labeled for indoor use, they will most likely die in an area inaccessible to your cleaning efforts (inside the walls, attic, crawl space, etc.). After that, their bodies will tend to smell and their parts can cause allergies and other health problems (similar to dust mites). |
