My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Boxelder Bug Elimination!

18 years ago

How would I eliminate or minimize Boxelder Bugs? The Orange and Black bugs that cluster on the warm side of the house and when crushed they smell bad. Any eco friendly solutions?

Thanks!
