Well the 1st hatch showed up over the weekend,I spray every year,spring and fall and these little some beeches are relentless,they just keep coming back in hords.

FYI,take alook along your foundations facing south and around the basis of any tree's in your yard if you had them before.

I saw some the other day and was wondering what was up. Lots of heat units here so far so they're a week or more ahead of schedule looks like.

We always get those dang things. ...we have a supply of dish soap and water premixed every year.

It costs us $100 to have our house sprayed every year.  No Asian Beatles no box elder bugs no nothing.  Stay home one night from the bar and it's paid for.

I tried the dish soap deal (dawn soap) didn't work,ended up using the real deal,had a huge ball of these some beeches having an orgy or some such thing,about the size of a basket ball on my wood fenece.
