We have flowers. We have grasses. We have forbs. We have fruits and vegetables. We have trees. We have birds and mammals, reptiles and amphibians. In the nearby lakes and streams and rivers we have all kinds of fresh water fish. But what we have most is bugs.
Right now I am looking for a bug fix, something to get rid of the zillions of little red crawly guys that have established themselves around the foundation of the house. They’re driving me bug-house! It might be that they’re the juvenile form of the box-elder bug.
Permethrin may be the true way to detachment from all box-elder related concerns. And if I can help these little fellow creatures along the path of rebirth perhaps that is the highest way.

You may be in luck — according to http://cs.millersv.edu/~katz/boxElder.html they have a common natural predator — trout. Therefore, all you have to do is simply introduce trout into your home and they’ll soon be gone!

Trout, naturally… all I have is a few blue gills and some bass, and it is reported that bass won’t eat them.
