HELP!! Utah Bug Infests Everything...What to do??

There's nothing worse than having bugs take over your life.

It's what happened to the Pharaoh.

If it were up to me the only bugs we would have would be potato bugs aka roly-pollies. Those things would let you pick 'em right up. They would go into a ball in fear, but that was part of the entertainment.

When you have bugs that aren't quite as cute and they're in your walls and fences that's when it's time to take action.

Utah Bug Infests Everything...What to do??

"Box elder bugs. Utterly harmless and not really a pest or nuisance. The only tried and true way to get rid of them is don’t live in northern Utah. There’s litterally a county called box elder country because those buggers are EVERYWHERE."

"Leave Utah. Boxelder Bugs are everywhere all summer. they are harmless, just ignore them and move on. your only other option is to spray bug killer all around all the time, but that would be a waste since they are everywhere anyways."

Yikes! It sounds like getting rid of these bugs is pretty hard.

But don't leave Utah! Other states have worse stuff like paper straws!
