Boxelder Bugs!!...Get Ready, Set, Spray!
|
If you have experienced Boxelder Bugs, “yuck” probably describes them as well as any other word! They seem to appear everywhere and seem to multiply as you watch them. Inside and outside. No place in your home is immune from them, once they decide to inhabit your house. Is there a way to get rid of them? Yes, thankfully, but knowing how and when is key!
Spraying for these nasty critters can be a very effective solution. If you have had trouble with these bugs in the past or have started to see them appear already, treatment for them will be especially important and most effective starting anytime from the last week of August and through September. How long you actualy have all depends on when the ground freezes. Spraying for Boxelders are also effective in the Spring, as well. If you choose one over the other, pest professionals suggest choosing Fall.
If you miss this window of time, you will have to wait until Spring or the following August to try again. Until then, you will find that your only refuge is your vacuum cleaner off and on as you find these bugs during the rest of fall and into winter.
You may have heard of a home remedy to try involving Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. This stuff is not only tough on grease and grime, but also tough on the wax coating that builds on the Boxelder Bug’s wings. Once the wax coating is broken down, the bugs actually dry up and die. The trouble with this home remedy is that it requires regimented daily application and usually in high and low places a typical homeowner may not get to. One dousing won’t do the trick. Dawn doesn’t have the same chemicals that a pest control professional uses. Their chemicals do far greater work to affect present and future Boxelders from entering and inhabiting your home.
Calling a pest control professional is likely the best decision you can make to rid yourself of Boxelder Bugs, as they will have the proper spray to tackle this job. Call now and schedule relief from these bugs! When you call, ask about Lady Bugs, as well. This is the right timing to treat for those pesty, spotted beetles, too.
