fanmailthe Box Elder Bug
(Name Withheld by Request) here, a US citizen in Alberta Canada, (should you cite me, just refer to me as SW in Alberta). Re: the Box Elder Bug. When I lived in NW Indiana, our house covered on the southern (sunny) outer wall before later when the house was invaded by them. We had them all through the winter months. They lived in the heating ducts. They "spotted" our drapes. I tried a local hardware store (where they sold pest sprays). They had a big, thick book on what to do to rid this or that bug, but on the Box Elder Bug, it said, cut down the box elder tree. We didn’t have any near my house so I tried Venus fly traps. They were so slow closing on them, I basically had to catch and force feed them. I’m glad I moved away from them. BUT, when I got to this part of Alberta (in the prairies) they call the same bug a Maple Bug. I know the Maple Leaf is on the Canadian flag, but I see very few Maple trees here. I think the Cottonwood tree is most prevalent.
