Last fall I came home to an entire side of my house covered with these little monsters. The next morning they were gone, or so I thought. Throughout the winter I spotted more and more boxelder bugs in various places around my house. I finally found a high concentration near my basement window, and pulled aside a board to reveal their lair. I quickly vacuumed about 80 of them and dumped them in the snow. I did this a few more times (yes there were that many) and they finally started to thin out. Thinking I had won, I forgot about them until about a week ago. Once again they are showing up in various places and this time I'm on a mission. Fortunately this very informative site has some good ammunition for me to try. If the GnomeCam cuts out in the next week it probably means they won.
