My wife and her best friend cut down a dying/dead mugo pine in the front yard, and then planted a "bush" in its place. They told me it'd get to be five or six foot tall. That "bush" is now a forty-foot box elder tree. A year after she planted the tree, we learned what box elder bugs are. Trust me, that's a very very SMALL amount of bugs. I've had to evict that many out of the house each winter. (Pro tip: don't kill them -- they eat their dead, so you'll just attract more into the house.)
