Green Stinkbug

brown sting bugs invaded our house this year like never before. drop them in soapy water, vacuum then throw the bags. At long last the answer was dictomimius eath (can\'t spell it) outside in garden or in the house totally harmless to people and pets. I bought this accordian puffer thing to put it in (on amazon-cheap). The powder acts like razer blades on them and they dehydrate and die within a few minutes. Puff it around your plants (they ate all my chinese lanterns last year). This year I will put it down before the ground even thaws. Inside, around windows (100 year old house) and in attic spaces. They are gone. Have a great garden season everyone. works on aphids and other destroyers as well.

We have mainly the brown stinkbugs and a few green ones . Every year we seem to get more and more in our veggie garden . We can hardly get a good crop of tomatoes any more . The only way I find to kill them is to knock them off into soapy water but that is a never ending job . So I give up after a while. I sure wish there was a way to get rid of them without using insecticides. I will not use any insecticides once my veggies start producing . This yr they hit the cucumbers also . I live in spring , tx

Bad problem with the brown version one this sept. 2011 year. Totally wiped out my pumkins for October harvest. They suck the juices from the leaves or deposit their saliva which damages the leaves. Noticed eggs on top of pumpkin leaves late August. They are very small red looking dots or globes. Also they love warm areas especially the chimney. Every year when I go to clean the chimney they are everywhere. We bought the ortho plant and vegetable insect killer to hopefully have solution. Not sure if works just bought yesterday.
