Is there something to kill these bastids? They are swarming in my neighbors tree behind me that's right near my fence. It's becoming a problem, I went to the town and asked if there is anything that can be done. All to with no answers. We have 3 or 4 of those Beetle bags (catchers) that fill up with hundreds in each bag within a week. Constantly I am cleaning the pool out with so many of them not to mention before we come in the house we check ourselves because they are usually on our shirts.

I told me neighbor about the problem, and also asked if I can cut the tree down with my expense, "SHE LIKES SHADE AND TREES"&nbsp\\; But could it be the feeder bags or the chlorine that attracks them more.? Is there a legitimate way to get rid of them.?

They sound like what I always called "Democrat" bugsreally I think they are Box Elder bugs.&nbsp\\; We were overrun with them until we cut the golden rain tree down in the back yard, and then they disappeared.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; They are black and orangeor orange and blackand they just stack on top of each other.&nbsp\\; I think it must be constant group sex, based on the proliferationand they are pretty much impervious to any insecticide known to man.&nbsp\\; You can't get rid of them, unless you figure out where they are livingin my case the tree.&nbsp\\; Hence the name Democrat" bugs.
