RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By (Guest Post) (04/28/2006) deanonized crystals work when sprinkled on lawn, and around trees, also spray area with soapy water. i tried both and they work to get rid of those nasty looking bugs RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By Wade (Guest Post) (03/02/2006) Where do you spray the dishshop solution when the bugs are inside? RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By Mike in Virginia (Guest Post) (01/20/2006) Diamataceous earth is the solution. Two summers ago we had boxelder bugs everywhere on the sunny side of our house, and eventually inside many rooms. I bought one bag of diamataceous earth, spread it around outside where all the maple seeds were, and along the window ledges outside and inside. Within two weeks the pests were ALL gone. I haven't even needed to reapply. RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post by kidseatfree (113) | (01/20/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact I've used Dawn dish soap, water and vinegar in the past. RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By Bonnie (Guest Post) (01/07/2006) I use a Dawn dish soap and water mix in a spray bottle. Works great. RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By Dianne (Guest Post) (01/05/2006) WE USE SOAPY WATER IN A SPRAY BOTTLE ALSO AND IT DEFINATELY WORKS! ALSO WORKS FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE LADY BUGS BUT ARENT THAT GATHER BY THE DOOR AND TRY TO COME IN...I JUST SPRAY ALL AROUND THE DOOR AND SIDE OF HOUSE AND THEY DONT HANG AROUND THERE ANY MORE. RE: Getting Rid of Boxelder Bugs Post By (Guest Post) (01/05/2006) We get them every year. Mix up up soapy water and put it in a spray bottle and just cover where they are and you will see them just die. I hope this helps Jill Kansas City Ks
