Box Elder Bugs

[darkstar]

Besides normal topical applications such as neem oil or soap ;is there an effective solution for ridding a box elder of the dreaded box elder bugs? My clients tree is severly infested and is beginning to think the tree needs removal.

I have used a bit of dish soap in a spray bottle full of water and it seems to work okay. It just requires that you spray pretty often.

You guys grow them on purpose down there? Up here we can't cut 'em down fast enough!
