For some reason they love the front of our house. It gets a lot of afternoon sun and they fan out all across the front and get warm. They breed there too. We get the babies and the adults! In the past we've tried to spray them but it didn't work very well. And then we got the dogs and didn't want them nosing around in bug spray, so we stopped. We used to have a boxelder tree in our yard and they'd climb all over it. It was cut down a couple summers ago, though, bc it was sickly looking. We were really hoping that once we got rid of the boxelder tree we'd get rid of the boxelder bugs, but nope! We still get the bugs! Sometimes, if they get in the house, the dogs like to eat them. Gross! They are nasty. For some reason they love the front of our house. It gets a lot of afternoon sun and they fan out all across the front and get warm.
