Neighbor has a boxelder maple tree right on the fence line on his side.
I haven’t been able to speak to him yet but can I cut off all the branches going over to my side(which is the majority)?The box elder bugs have exploded in population lately and now they’re starting to come into my house and that’s a no go for me. They’re a nuisance and stink and I’m pretty sure they’re going to try to over winter in my place once it starts cooling down. We’re both renters so I don’t know if that’s an issue done between land lords or is as tenants. I’m located in California
