I HATE STINKBUGS
Hello and welcome to ihatestinkbugs! My name is Marie. I have a serious hate for those ugly, annoying, smelly, bugs... STINKBUGS! I am sure there are other people out there that share my hate, and fear, of the stinkbug and that is why I am making this blog, so I can let out my fear and hate and share my horrible stinkbug experiences with you and so I can hear yours too! I'll post as much stories, information, videos, pictures, and other stuff as I can. Hope to here from you too!PS: I am referring to the BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG
In NJ we have experienced a major infestation from this smelly pest, with every year becoming worse than the last. I hate to use poisons but I found an alternative product that seems work on their attack and may not be as detrimental to the environment. 'SPRAY NINE' This cleaner and disinfectant comes in a trigger spray 32 oz bottle and in a gallon container.
ReplyDeleteI sprayed it into the tracks of my storm windows and the effect was total carnage!!!!! If they didn't die within the first minute they were certainly on their way to "belly-up". It seems to work faster if the spray hits them on their underside but the longer death suits these pests also.
I took this a step further and purchased a gallon of this cleaner and used it with a siphon in my pressure washer and sprayed the entire house. I tried to avoid getting it on the roof but after letting it soak for several minutes I then proceeded to rinse it off. I followed this by going up on the roof with the trigger bottle and sprayed the ridge vent, gutter edge and chimney. When finished I cleaned the bird baths to rid any over spray that may have occurred.
So far this method seems to be favorable in not only killing the bug but due the the odor of the cleaner it deters them away from returning to the house.
I have found two products that work. One the good old dish washing detergent and second EcoSMART organic insecticide. dilute an dspray on exterior walls, roof, windos, shrubs and nearby trees. They immobilize the bugs quickly and eventually (after a few hours) they die. The EcoSMART fragrance may also keep them away.
ReplyDeleteBest way to get rid of stink bugs is to find the main infestation location. Take this out and they will stop coming back.
ReplyDeleteI also hate stink bugs just like you marie. . .well, they really are pain in my head because they infested in our crops.
