Box Elder bugs....and Asian Beetles
That time of year again......These pests are everywhere.
Box Elder bugs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxelder_bug
Seems these are native to North America......as are the Box elder tree....type of maple.
Then the Asian beetles.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis
These are imported to control aphids and scale disease.
They are everywhere, get in and collect.......on floor, walls, in cracks, and in the windows....
Make you wonder what the native Americans did for controlling them...or I suspect "just put up with them...as a part of nature.
Spraying with "Pest tabs dissolved in water does help a bit.....but even when the weather turns cold...they get in a hibernate...to come back out with any warmth.
Vacuum them up....they stink...as does the vacuum cleaner it self.
And do bite...not bad but annoying....
So how are y'all doing with eaithe or both of these?
