Guys the box elder problem in our house has escalated. I’ve called people but they said all they can do is spray for them in the fall and once they’re in they’re in. I literally woke up with one crawling under my nightgown last night. They’re coming from recessed lighting or something cracks in the windows idk. sticky traps aren’t working. I’m losing my mind.

Look for house sealing services. We do it in Arizona to keep the scorpions out

The adults don’t live long (week or two) and don’t reproduce indoors. Preventing more from coming in is key and some pest services do crack sealing and inspection. Supposedly the bugs don’t like substances like mint oil or eucalyptus oil and those can be sprayed indoors into places they may hi...

Peppermint spray on windows, door or any crack worked wonders last year. Give it a shot, easy, non toxic and good smell!

Can you try to fill as many cracks as possible with great foam cans? They have foam with pesticides in it. So if they try to burrow through they die. I dunno. Just one idea. Honestly I have no idea what a box elder is. Sounds like a fratbro thing.
