Preventing Elm Seed Bugs
We can all agree it's best to do everything we can to keep these stinky pests out of our homes. Some simple tips recommended by Live Well Utah include the following:
-
These bugs mostly enter through any space around windows and doors, so make sure all your windows and doors are sealed.
-
Make sure your screens fit snug in your windows.
-
Seal up foundation cracks and gaps around plumbing, gas or electrical conduits.
-
If you find these bugs in your home, use a vacuum cleaner to suck them up. Empty the vacuum contents into a bag, tightly seal, and throw away.
-
Using a vacuum may cause the bugs to emit their foul odor, so another method is to use a wet-dry vac filled with an inch of water and dish soap. That will drown the bugs once you suck them up.
