LAST NIGHT from 11:00 PM to 11:46 pm
I had war with 10 stinkbugs last night, including PAPA stinkbug. Ha, you may be confused but whatever. Anyway, so there is this lamp in my house (it has one of those "energy saving" light bulbs which I think they're attracted to) and there were seven of them in there. This was a record for me because I have never seen SEVEN stinkbugs in that lamp, at most three, but never seven. So I see one crawling on the outside of the lampshade, the others were inside. I shook the lampshade and they all started flying... They eventually landed back to their spots. So there I am with a softball cleat and Windex in my hand and I really could not hit any of them yet because they were in the lampshade and the one that's on the outside was in a weird spot. So I decide to spray it with Windex...It did not die. I heard from my brother that cinnamon kills them and keeps them away---but it does not keep them away because I have bowls of cinnamon around my house and I still have a billion. So I went into my kitchen got my cinnamon. I started squeezing it so that the powder was like a smoke going into the air. It did not really work. (I'M GETTING REALLY QUEEZY TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THIS) So I decide, what the heck----why not pour cinnamon on the stinkbug. So I poured it and it struggled and fell to the ground. I got the cleat and killed it. Okay now for the other seven. I threw cinnamon up the lampshade and it didn't do anything. So I kept wiggling it and hitting the lampshade with the cleat and they all eventually fell and died. So after I finally killed them, I was proud and happy and felt successful, but then ... they came. Three others, including the biggest one I ever saw.. AKA -- PAPA STINKBUG.. and were flying for a little....at that point I am having a total melt down and am having a panic attack. I eventually kill two, but the big one... GRRR I HATE IT.. would not die. I hit it and was like, okay if this bug crawls away after I just beat the life out of it, then Im pissed.... So I wait like 10 seconds and it starts to crawl away.. I got so mad and just sprayed Windex and then dumped a whole lot of the cinnamon on it. YES! VICTORY! ... I think not... I made that huge mess.. had a panic attack.. all for nothing.. because the next morning I woke up.. and guess what I saw flying around.. FIVE NEW STINKBUGS! oh.. what a joy (sarcastically speaking) Wow, I literally pray in church that these stinkbugs will go away. I know they only really come in Fall and Spring but they're still there...hibernating in the winter and summer. Please....GOD HELP THIS WORLD BE RID OF STINKBUGS! ha, I hate them.
