Nice vid, A few things to add, that I've found after 30 years of doing battle with these (red brick house & red wooden sheds & many Boxelder trees by the house) & recently Stink (shield) bugs. I used to use this type of sprayer - too much work for the hands, pump weed sprayers, & finally a Hudson sprayer. Cold water first. Then add Dawn straight from the container (the water won't foam as much or at all) until the water is JUST TINTED to a little blue, then a few little squeezes of rubbing alcohol (any percentage). Put the tops/pumps in/on. Shake or twist lightly, a little, to mix. Spray on, I do the gatherings first, as after the first sprays they try to disperse. Works almost instantly- I realized that I would have to clean up the dead - but discovered that something around my area always removes them overnight on the exterior but not usually inside the garage.

I didn't know what they were. So I came to KZitem and I got information. Bought a sprayer and detergent. I didn't matter which one and water sprayed for about 2 weeks. They're dead. This is in Michigan.

You need to put a lot more soap than that. I use the soapy solution to remove the box elder at my house, but a lot more soap, and it works wonders. They die as soon as the soap gets on their skin.

Ya, probably not necessary for the hot water. Once they were sprayed they were done. But the ones that were hiding would come out and bask in the sun, this was an ongoing process for days lol

I have very bad boxelder problem on my brick townhouse. I treated them in the fall, sprayed everywhere. They were all clustered under the gutter and around windows and on a bush. I trimmed the bush and sprayed them on the bushes. Still, they've been coming inside all winter, and it probably didn't help that we had a mild winter. It's already warming up and they're coming out again. I'm going to have to treat them once again. Somehow, they're getting in through my windows, even though everything seems to be sealed well. It's never ending where I am. I've also noticed after I spray them with soap, the sparrows love to come and have a feast.

They are resilient buggers. I live in Saskatchewan and they still come out on abnormally warm sunny days to bask on the wall…I guess I always have to keep a spray bottle on the ready! Ha

I love my box elder bugs. I take care of a few through winter. They behave very well. Haven't stained anything and are very chill.

True sir, the ones I sprayed immediately were incapacitated. Then the ones that were hiding would come out and say “hi how are ya” then I would repeat the cycle.

Ya, I tend to yap too much at times, but they all died! You just have to keep doing this daily as there is more where they came from. They continue to run and hide, then come out to bask. This is when you spray them.
