Phila., Pa. Lines: 14 We seem to have the same problem with red and black beetles. The exterminator came and said they were Box Elder Bugs, whatever they are, and said not to worry. He says that if you get rid of your box elder bush, you'll get rid of the bugs. We don't know which bush is the box elder bush, so we still have the bush, and still have the bugs. If anybody else can help, I'd like to hear some suggestions too. David Hecker P.S. I just started dealing with this exterminator, and I'm not sure how much I trust him. Please someone tell me if I really do have to worry about these suckers. They're all over the place.
