True BugsMasses of green and orange bugs
Hi!
I was trying to identify a bug. They’re dark green with orange markings, and they are all over the exterior of my house. Are they potentially damaging? Should I be afraid? Very, very afraid? I’ve attached a jpg of a mass of them; if you could let me know what you know, I’d be grateful. All best,
Nikki Bess
Hi, again. I think that the bugs in the picture I sent you are eastern boxelder bugs. They’re a little freaky, though: any suggestions for thinning their numbers? Thanks again,
Nikki Bess
Hi Nikki,
Glad you properly identified your Boxelder Bugs. We have heard that spraying them with soapy water does the trick.
