Boxelder Bugs Insecticide
Boisea trivittata Insecticide
Description of Boxelder Bugs (Boisea trivittata):
Boxelder bugs, although threatening when they create mobs, are harmless to humans and not a significant threat to grass. On their wing coverings, you can find thin orange (sometimes orangeish-red) lines and a short orange line which runs down the middle of the thorax. Their name comes from the fact that they appear near Boxelder bushes.
