Anyone else getting hit with elm seed bugs this week? Tiny rust-brown bugs piling up on the sunny side of the house, especially anywhere near a mature Siberian elm. They're at peak right now across the Valley.

We put together a full guide on what professional treatment costs in Boise, how often you need it, and whether it really works.
