The correct answer for getting rid of boxelder bugs is to mix up a solution of dish washing detergent and water in a spray bottle - a 1/2 gallon weed sprayer works really good. Spray the little critters with the soapy water and they will die in about 1 minute. Sorry that's it's lethal, but hopefully you will have less the following year.
Seven powder kills the Asian beetles. Again, lethal.
