Hi BSalamone,
I found an article with a LOT of information about box elder bugs, with information about how to prevent them and how to get rid of them. Just be aware that there are a lot of ads - especially at the top of this article - and don't click on any of them, just keep scrolling down to read the entire article. Wishing you the best.

Pull them by hand or use a paint brush to apply roundup directly to leaves. If you have very small seedlings, you might use a hand claw digger thing and drag it through the mulch To uproot them and leave their wicked roots to die in the sun.
