Box Elder Bugs are Hatching

We're getting lots of calls about invasions of 'tiny ants' to 'gnats' to 'what's this'.  As the weather warms, the box elder eggs begin to hatch.  They are extremely small and very invasive. 

There's good and bad news! 

The good news is that they're not a vector for any known disease.

Now for the bad news.  This is going to last for a couple of weeks.  We can kill most of them, but if you have a hundred billion and we eliminate 99% you'll still have a million!

We're asked, 'why me' and the answer is simple.  In the Mojave desert, their favorite nesting place is the dried leaves under Oleanders.  Dried grass or weeds are their next favorite.  So, if you have let your lawn dry out, allowed dry grass to overtake your desert landscape, allowed your yard to go to weeds, or have a neighbor who has, you have the perfect enviorment for this insect. 

Yes, we can treat and limit the population that enters your home/building.  Give us a call.
