Boxelder bugs

[Pain103]

 Anybody else getting these annoying bugs? I have a maple tree near my parking pad and garage and apparantly these bugs love crawling all over my vehicles. Anybody know of a good way to get rid of them? I searched online and all I could find was a dishwashing soap/water mixture. Also has anyone had any luck with spraying the tree down maybe to get rid of them there also?

Dawn

I use dawn for the dog. It'll kill the heck outta fleas. Apparently the oil in it coats them and essentially suffocates them. Easy to clean up after too! Lol!

I used the get them all over the front of my house, I have a Boxelder tree in the front yard, I just went to Home Depot and looked for a insecticide that listed them on the back of the bottle. I sprayed the front of my house and I haven't seen them in a swarm in years, I do see a single every now and then.

They were all over my front porch. I sprayed the f***ers down with RAID flying insect killer, gone now.

They showed up in masses at my house over the weekend.  Neighbor has a boxelder tree.  Brought lots of wasps and ladybugs with them.  I think the unexpected warm weather brought them out in full force this past weekend.  I hadn't seen that many bugs all summer.  I called a pest control company as I needed my crawl space and other taller areas of the house sprayed that I couldn't get to.

They have been all over our garage and sidewalk for the last 3 weeks. Roll up the garage door and it's like a stampede as they race to get inside. I usually stomp on all of them I can.

Most insecticides we have used don't seem to stop them, at least not immediately, anyway. We have had a little success with some of the stronger stuff from Co-op stores(can't remember the name right now).
