How Box Elder Beetles Get Into Your House

Box elder beetles would get into your house through open windows or torn screens in patios. So keeping these closed and the screens in good repair is one way to combat the entry of box elder beetles into your house. You can use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of larger collections and kill them by dunking them in a detergent solution or alternatively spraying it on them. You can use the garden hose to get them off the exterior walls of your home or from the trees and plants you may find them on.
