Yep. We have the same issue. The Asian Beetles like to hibernate in the walls of ‘This Old House’ and then when we have our ‘January Thaw’ they start showing up inside. The shop vac is always out, LOL!

Same with the Box Elder Bugs. We have been overrun with those (outside) this season, and now I am finding
‘clusters’ of their offspring gathered on any south-facing surface. Dousing them with soapy water, which kills them instantly.

Nothing, not even CHICKENS, are interested in eating either of these useless bugs! Ugh!

Soapy water works well on a lot of bugs.

I use Dawn and a decently strong solution and a spray bottle. It’s a better option than insecticides.
