Boxelder Bugs

I know there was a post on how to kill these pest but I can't find it. I know about the soap and water mix but I am looking for the chemical used instead. Thanks for your help.

I just use ant & roach spray. Raid, I believe, but I think that most any all purpose insect killer will work.

They're pretty wimpy as insects go so Don is right, almost anything will kill them. Here is a link to a U of M fact sheet by Jeffrey Hahn.

i use a product called ortho max. its liquid form and comes in a red jug. put it in a sprayer and spray in all the cracks. i think it works well.
