Box Elder Bugs affect people by being a nuisance. These bugs come from Boxelder Trees and come inside homes where it is warm.
The beetles (genus Phyllophaga) are known as "june bugs" or "wood bugs" and are normally harmless. They do not have biting mandibles. Some individuals may have allergic reactions to a scrape from its mouth parts or a leg barb. The greatest harm done by these bugs is as grubs (larvae) that can damage lawns and garden roots.
Birds such as grosbeaks, orioles, and blue jays; insects like assassin bugs and predatory stink bugs; and amphibians like tree frogs and salamanders all eat box elder bugs. Additionally, some spiders and wasps also prey on box elder bugs.

No, box elder bugs do not eat mites. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) number among the world's plant-eaters. Mites, as members of the arachnid family of arthropods, will not need to fear overlapping territories with box elder bugs ... unless the natural order of life cycles and natural histories hideously is disrupted.
No, box elder bugs do not have red blood. They nevertheless have liquids which circulate internally and which may be released under stress and with death.
the bugs are called box elder bugs you cannot totally get rid of them unless you get rid of the box elder tree or trees, but you can control them by spraying them with soap and water.
