How do I control Box Elder Bugs? They are covering the outside walls around my front door!?

Is there a way to repel them or control them without killing them all? An exterminator said they could apply something, but it would only help, it wouldn't solve the problem. I don't remember what it was.

the only way to stop them is to remove the tree they are coming from...anything else be it commercial insecticide or home made insecticides with soaps only will take care of the portion that comes to the house, and there will be an endless supply of them as long as the source tree is nearbyHow do I control Box Elder Bugs?

many times, the box elder actually comes in mulch that you pruchase from Home Depot or Lowe's. They LOVE mulch. An exterminator should be able to rid you of those. Go with a pest control company that has a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
soapy water controls them
