I have this problem with this bugs yeap I’m in NJ

I hate these bugs with a passion!

I hate these bugs with a passion. If anyone knows how to get rid of them for good please let me know.

I just spent at least an hour last night getting them out of our bedroom! Nasty – disgusting! I have ben looking online for problem solving – basically treat the outside of your house where you think they’re coming in and patch up any holes where they could fit through. Keep doors and windows closed = a bummer during the nice fall weather. We used a vacuum on them last night then immediately cleared out the vacuum. Today I’ll be caulking or puttying the moulding around our windows. Hope you find something that works.

That’s fine and dandy, but WHAT insecticide?! Give me a brand name!

spray with (hand) soapy water, to kill them. don’t use dish detergent.

ok so what do we spray the outside of our home with?

what kind of hand soapy water what is the mixture soap to water…… Help I am in Wrightsvill pa and I have millions of them….

help. i’m in richmond va- with thousands at my house

I hate them I just used a shop vac to get them up. It works great but god they stink! I want them gone the are everywhere!!! The pest company will come spray tomorrow but they said the are not indigenous to the area so they have no natural predators, and don’t have a completely successful way of entirely eliminating them. articles i have read say it will get worse as the winter comes because they will come in to hibernate! Gross!

Chickens take care of the problem. My friend just turns her chickens out where the bugs are. Takes care of the problem quickly and the chickens have a marvelous time.

grrrr…gross.

soap and water work great! put it in a spray bottle and your set to go. i think they are attracted to the color white, the front of out house is tan (which has barely any on it) and the white parts of the porch have thousands (literally) of stinkbugs swarming, so look out and see if you notice white parts of things top have the most stinkbugs on them.

I have found that if you spray Raid flea spray around the outside doors and on window screens, it keeps them away so that they don’t come into the house. It does not kill them.

is there an “organic” or eco-friendly insecticide to get rid of them? i haven’t tried soap and water. if they get in the house i squash them. lately they have swarmed, on a daily basis, around my bedroom window. i don’t know why they have chosen that window. i wonder if they would be attracted to fly strips…

Leonard,
Oh my gosh you are so funny!!!!! I am so desperate, I’m ready to go out and buy a few chickens!!!! Have a great day!!

Regards, Val

I was told to purchase a green product called Orange Guard. You can find it at Whole Foods as well as some Ace Hardware stores. I also read that Melapower 6x (Melaluca laundry detergent) will do the trick. The bugs do not like the orange scent and it smothers them as it coats their hard shell. I will be getting the Orange Guard tonight! Will let you know!

You need to spray the outside of the house with Talstar Professional or dragnet insectide. That will stop them! You can get it online at AllPestExpress.com. (local here in Baltimore). Just mix it up and spray around the door frames, window frames and cracks and crevices around the house and foundation, spray some around the window sills and doors inside. mainly on the sunny side of the house. Oh and yes, Stink bugs can pinch you with their mouth parts, rarely though! You can also use a shop vac or old vacuum cleaner to vacuum them up, dead or alive. Empty the bag outside far away from the house and store the vacuum in the shed, not in the house. If you start brushing these things off the house, they will get upset and release the oder glands. Just blast them good with a good insecticide. repeat every 2 weeks until it gets cooler outside. Once the temperature drops they will disappear, but they aren’t gone and will pop back out on a warm late fall or winter day, thinking its spring.

Talstar Professioanl is the best stuff to use, just be aware that stink bugs are diehard, so it will take a day or two after sprayer before you notice the good results. And you will get good results!

soapy water will help control the ones you can see and spray directly, however, it has no residual, so you will have to repeat this everyday during the peak season. Some will die and some will just be really clean Stink Bugs.

A few tablespoons to a quart of water will do if you are going this route. Be sure to add the water and then the dish soap.
