All gardeners will be familiar with the challenge of getting rid of garden pests that may harm your plants. Boxelder bugs are no exception, as these little black and red insects like to feed on the leaves and seeds of trees.
Just like getting rid of gypsy moth caterpillars and repelling cicadas, it can be a good idea to repel boxelder bugs to protect your leafy plants. Not putting the right precautions in place could risk them becoming damaged by boxelder bugs feeding on them. Although, experts say these bugs don't cause extensive harm to plant health.
