Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Vacuuming
Problem: Elm Seed Bugs hide in cracks and crevices that vacuums can't reach
Result: Only removes visible bugs, not the entire infestation

Sealing entry points
Problem: Elm Seed Bugs can already be inside the home
Result: Does not eliminate existing infestation
Soap and water spray
Problem: Soap and water spray does not penetrate the Elm Seed Bug’s hard exoskeleton
Result: Only kills a few bugs on contact, leaving the infestation largely unaffected
Diatomaceous earth
Problem: Elm Seed Bugs avoid treated areas or find shelter in cracks and crevices where diatomaceous earth cannot reach
Result: Infestation persists despite application
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
