Yes, Shockwave can be used to treat boxelder bugs from trees. However, per the label, you cannot apply it to any fruit, nut-bearing trees, plants, shrubs, or vines. All outdoor applications are limited to building surfaces & spot treatments on structures.
We do suggest using Suspend SC if spraying any foliage or grass, and it definitely helps to apply a surfactant along with it, which helps the product stick to the waxy layer on the leaves, bushes, shrubs, and grass, which will improve results. If using Suspend SC, you will use .25-1.5 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft, and treatments may be applied at 21-day intervals or as necessary to maintain adequate control. For surfactant, you will use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of spray or 8 ounces per 100 gallons of spray.
You may further read over the pest guide we have for the boxelder bug here.
