Info on said bug Box Elder Bugs

If they get kinda bad try vacuuming them up . They are usualy only around in the warm weather . If you have them now you may want to try and seal up your windows/house a little better. They can be a real pain once they get inside.

If it isn't a predatory bug, kill it to be sure. Give it a burial at sea (the crapper). Some bugs, ladybugs,praying mantis etc can be an outdoor growers best friend.

so, is it a danger to my plants or no? i did toss em just to be sure but if more turn up i don't want to get freaked out.

Yes It is . Its the bugs that were talked about a few years back as they have been coming in droves and killing mass amounts of trees. If i recall correctly Ash trees mainly.

I found 2 more of these little shits in my room. They must be using the buddy system. 4 in a month isn't too bad and I am guessing it's because we had a warm spell. It was like 20-30 degrees for almost 3 days here. That's shorts and t-shirt weather!

toss them quickly
