If they get kinda bad try vacuuming them up . They are usualy only around in the warm weather . If you have them now you may want to try and seal up your windows/house a little better. They can be a real pain once they get inside.
If it isn't a predatory bug, kill it to be sure. Give it a burial at sea (the crapper). Some bugs, ladybugs,praying mantis etc can be an outdoor growers best friend.
Thats is a box elder bug. I have em to.
I go to the local hardware store and purchase Enforcer BugMax365 one year home pest control this is there web sight. Enforcer Products you can spray it in the house but keep pets away for a day. aw well works GREAT if in the fall you spray around the foundation of your house BEFORE they come in to over winter. also works on asian ladybugs.
and here is a web sight dedicated to YOUR bug. from the univercity Boxelder Bugs
Yes It is . Its the bugs that were talked about a few years back as they have been coming in droves and killing mass amounts of trees. If i recall correctly Ash trees mainly.
I found 2 more of these little shits in my room. They must be using the buddy system. 4 in a month isn't too bad and I am guessing it's because we had a warm spell. It was like 20-30 degrees for almost 3 days here. That's shorts and t-shirt weather!
