I don’t even remember seeing any stink bugs when I was growing up as a kid. I’m in southern Massachusetts and I see them more and more over the last 5 years or so. 🐜 🐛 🐞
We didn't see them as kids because they are just another recent present from China. Several invasive species came from there, accident, delibreate?
Because they are invasive, and in the last decade have become an issue.
Game here from Asian just like the Spotted lantern fly that is becoming invasive here now also.
Don't forget Asian beetles!
Same here. I am in metrowest MA and they are everywhere.
I had an unfinished 40 by 32 wood shop. Stink bugs invaded covering the walls. I used the smoke insect killer that you put a bit of water in than leave the building. Added two fans to move air around. The next morning every flat surface was covered with dead bugs. A day later the floor was cleared of bugs. I looked behind a pile of wood to find bug parts. The mice had a feast. The mice were next.
It’s an awful feeling. I’m glad the mice were able to take some of the clean up off your hands. As for the mice, our cat Sage takes care of those!
😮
On a side note. If you don’t want to walk thru your exterior doors and into spider webs, spray some water infused with peppermint oil, all along your outside door frames. Spiders won’t put up their webs there 👍🏻😊
I let mine live inside because of bugs lol
We did something similar for a flea problem. Used a metal round cake pan. My husband used some scrap wood to make an "X" to rest in top of the pan. At the crosspoint he put a short dowel. Onto the dowel we inserted a cheap Dollar Tree light (just the top part, not the stake). Put water with a bit of soap in it. Placed the whole assembly in various locations throughout the house. Lights came on automatically at night. Fleas dropped in and drowned.
Also put flea protection on our one cat who was a magnet (and allergic) to fleas.
Your video of the electrocuted stink bugs did give me some satisfaction, like a sci-fi movie when the bad guy dies.
I've lived in Pacific Northwest my whole life. We grew up with spiders in our houses in the fall, but they have been completely replaced with Stink bugs. Certainly nothing like you've shown in this video but in the early fall I'm finding 2 or 3 a day in my house. Glad to know there are effective solutions as this continues to increase. Thanks for sharing!
I'm in the PNW also and we had so many in the house last year. No matter what I did I couldn't keep them out. I never remember seeing many of them growing up but they have been all over the last few years.
Me too. In Spanaway. I hate them. I just found out they fly.
Try Clove Oil and water In a spray bottle. The oils stick to their outer bodies of any insect. Stink bugs and spiders, mosquitoes, done... just spray early or mid spring. Then spray after a hard rain.. if you spray to much you will see a collection of reddish water if you have a sliding doors to a deck. However, you will see the results in that same water. And the scent of cloves potentiates a proximity or barrier from your entrances.
Nasty smelling buggers. To me, they smell like green apple jolly rancher, so it's bizarre to think that some people enjoy eating something that smells like stinkbug.🤢
That's my strategy, spiders lol
I’m pretty close to stink bug ground zero and just sealing a tiny crack around a window stopped them from getting in my apartment. I used to get dozens every fall. Nothing like waking up with a stink bug in the sheets with you or crawling on the wall next your head! I would gently grab each one with a tissue and take him to a water park (the toilet).
Notice he said they are devastating to crops. They may be an invasive species but someone may be helping them. Coughcoughchinacoughcough
Very clever and practical trap. I'll be adding one to our attic this weekend
Cheers
Oh boy, you reminded me it's time to battle again :) They love my tiny shack deep in the woods. It must be a vaca spot for stink bugs, haha but they don't pay rent.
I will say that when you don’t have hundreds, they are funny little guys to watch and they definitely love people!
Our house is surrounded by woods. Thank you for this solution. I’m working with our garage door open, facing South. They are coming in like crazy.
Funny little guys? Wow. Love people? China's curse on the USA.
Try handing a white pillowcase that’s been sprayed with OHD and dryed (wear gloves when handling). Clip it up in the openings or over the windows. They will land on the cloth because it’s so easy to attach too…
I had one hang around for days. He put on a show tight rope walking.
We’re in British Columbia in Canada. We didn’t ever see them before the last couple of years. This past year has been quite dreadful for them. Can’t wait to try this out.
did it work?
For years we had a horrible stink bug, and ladybug problem. One year I raised chickens. Not many, and I make pets out of them. But since I like to hold and pet them and spend time with them I began noticing that they absolutely loved stink bugs. The next spring I did not have as many bugs, and each spring there were less. Chickens did not like the lady bugs but I suspect that they ate the larva and eggs as the lady bugs disappeared also. Also have not had a flea problem.
BTW the lady bugs aren't lady bugs either. They are another invasive Asian bug. Actually have to be careful, supposedly they will bed down in the roof of the mouths of dogs.
Yep chickens are awesome no more little critters but I live in where I'm not aloud to have any kind of farm animals but 2 houses up they can it ant right thks for sharing
@@annettepoole8193 Well, I think that is awful. I dont think 2 or 3 hens in a cute little coop should bother anyone. Put some chicken diapers on them and call them house pets. Not much different than having a parrot.
How did you kill them before feeding them to the chickens? Of they're still alive they get away
I'm from Northwestern NC, and the only thing I've found that works, is Olive Oil, mixed with Peppermint Oil and a few drops of water, I spray it all over the window sills, doorways and put the mixture in several bowls all over the house, and it works great, there's no chemical smell, which is a plus for me, since I have smell sensitivity
Thank you. I always use natural methods, never chemicals. I don’t have a problem with stink bugs, but was wondering if boric acid or DE might work.
Thank you. Everyone is so casual about spraying chemicals everywhere, not for me.
What are the measurements you use of these ingredients?
As a 12 year pest control veteran, I endorse this video. Talstar P has a cheaper equivalent called Bifen I/T, or even the Compare N Save bifenthrin concentrate is even cheaper than that. Home Defense is the same price as the latter mentioned product but is called a ready to use vs a concentrate. Only use 1 oz per gallon as bifenthrin is a repellent. Used outdoors bifen or talstar will last 3 months and is the stuff pros use.
Thank you. That’s all good information and what we’ve seen researching as well. It’s one of the most effective things we’ve used and definitely one way to deal with fire ants.
What do you think of using deltamethrin instead? Thanks in advance if you could answer this!!
@@RM-jo8gy Thanks! I see that I can use a lot less of it and sounds like it lasts longer.
Love this stuff for fire ants also.
Brilliant! Like you, I have tried everything including spraying them directly with soapy water mixtures with terrible results. Love these ideas! Thanks so much for sharing these awesome tips.
Yes, but spraying hundreds (possibly thousands) results in cleaning up soapy, wet, dead rotting stink bugs. The soapy water becomes part of the mess. Localizing the substance that kills them and letting dry, adhered to the fabric (it’s not a volatile compound), paradoxically exposes us to much less risk. We pick up the aluminum tray and dumped it periodically.
Great idea! Thanks! I am in North Carolina and have a lot of maple trees near my house. I also love the Home Defense spray which also killed a lot of fruit flies which invaded my kitchen recently.
Putting out a small cup with a bit of cider vinegar and a drop of Dawn will cut down on those numbers real fast.
My project for today. 🤞 it works, because these little dudes are gross. A bit creepy too. I swear they come towards me when I look at them 😂
Welcome to today's episode of:
Danner the Exterminator !
Nice job D. 👍
I'm in PA, not far from Allentown, actually. We have dozens of Walnut and Pinocchio trees and thus gazillions of stank bugs. Thanks for the info. Salute
Thanks for the information. I only live about 2 hours north of Allentown.
I moved from the state of Oregon to Wisconsin three years ago. I had never seen a stink bug until I got here; nasty creatures. Thanks for the info, I’ll share it with my neighbors.
We didn't have them till about twenty years ago 😐
WI here also! My house was legit covered with them fall 2023. Gross! Inside was fairly minimal but outside was hideous!
Great video Danner, I hate those things! I started seeing them more and more over the last few years here in Washington state (westside of the state). Not as many as you guys at least not yet.
Gonna try it, I HATE stink bugs, I swear ny home must be insulated with them under my siding, they are disgusting
I don't let traps do all the work, I hunt down the suckers. I'm practically a member of the EDF. I got a whole arsenal of tools, a cricket cage fly swatter boomCo blaster extendable hand duster, and my most recent addition. An electric squirt gun. Then, I mix up some dish soap and white vinegar in a bucket of warm water. Any I catch in the cricket cage get dumped in the bucket. The boomCo is able to kill them up close if in an unreachable position like a crack. The fly swatter can smack them off window screens and gutters among other places. And lastly, the duster and squirt gun are for dislodging stink bugs from high places no other tool can reach, in the hopes they will land within my range. I do that for a couple weeks and end up with thousands of them dead in that bucket. Not very practical I know, but somebody's gotta do it. To save our mother Earth from any alien attack! From vicious giant insects who have once again come back! We'll unleash all our forces we won't cut them any slack. THE EDF DEPLOYS!!
I got my husband to make your trap as we have hundreds of stink bugs in our citrus tree, we placed the trap at the base of the tree and were hoping for a similar result you got. Unfortunately it didn't kill 1 bug!!! Not sure why so it seems that this trap only works if it is inside. Thanks for sharing, if anyone has a great result for a trap that works outside, please let me know.😁
Remember, they are trying to overwinter and they are attracted to light, but when given the choice they will move on. You might not know how many you killed, because they landed and then flew onto their goal. On a porch, screen porch, carport, or inside they are almost guaranteed to visit the trap if it’s on and low light/dark. Once they land they will eventually die. Hope that helps.
We have them here in SW Ohio. Seems that a late freeze, early-mid May here, really knocks down their numbers during the subsequent late summer/fall. Although it doesn’t kill them, I found that washing down the house siding with a mild lavender soap solution using a pressure washer significantly reduces the numbers hanging out for at least a week or more (assuming no significant rain).
Yes this is very true. I live in NE Ohio and that's been my observation as well. They seem very sensitive to late freezes. Harsher winters seem to really reduce their numbers too.
Definitely noticed reduced numbers in NE Ohio.
Is that Officer Pat Young ?
I accidentally discovered lanolin repels them when I undercoated my 4runner with Fluid Film. Now I spray it around the house parameter every fall and I only see a few stink bugs rather than thousands.
They are here in Canada too.......I scoop them up and drown them in vinegar.
Thanks, my youngest daughter who is 14 is very phobic of these harmless little critters, I tell her don't come into my room, it's their sanctuary city.
They're getting really bad here in Kentucky. We used to never see any. Now they're everywhere in huge numbers. We used to have issues with Lady bugs but we don't see those at all now. It's just these dam stink bugs.
Same here in lndiana.
Building one of these tomorrow! I’m in SE Ky and we are swamped with these things every year.
I had no idea they weren’t native and are invasive. Really appreciate this video. I’m on some serious acreage and I can tolerate them in the outbuildings but I’m not down with any bugs in the house whatsoever.
Yeah I never saw them as a kid. I didn't start seeing them regularly in my neck of the woods until the late 2000s. Had no idea what it was the first time I saw one.
@@eagl3yeYea they are everywhere now and I think its safe to thank china for them too. Me thinks these bugs have had a little help getting established.
Those large zappers may make them stink, but if you just have a small infestation like I do and get one here and there, use one of those handle zappers that kind of look like a small tennis racket. If you just zap them enough to die, no smell!
Now of course it's hard to use that on them if they aren't flying, so what I do is "walk" them onto it, or bump them off the wall with something nearby while I hold the racket underneath for them to land on. If you bump them from underneath or towards the sides, they will fall every time. Quick zap and in the trash! But we have too many to mess with that every time, we actually just use like on old empty seasoning jar/container, and scoop them from underneath with it, pop it in the freezer. Voila! You get creative when you've become accustomed to greeting them every year in spring and fall.
This is genius. Thank you so much.
I can tell you this for a fact, those dang stink bugs can and will get thru cracks even better your security screen doors where a fly never try to get through! I had numerous stink bugs getting better my security screen door and the front door where every time I opened my front door the stink bugs that were still alive come flying right at you into the house. Never thought I find a bug I hate more than flies and yellow jackets! But stink bugs are the worst in my opinion! I hate them! Only good thing about the stink bugs is they gather wherever there’s a warm wall where the sun hitting it. So you can suck them up with a shop vac by the hundreds if not more! Apparently if you’re persistent and spent as much time as you can sucking them up in a vac you can really slow down their population growth cause over the last few years I’m not seeing near as many stink bugs around my house any more. Good ridden too!
I keep my beekeeping suit in a trailer at a local farm. In the fall I have to clean out the suit of stink bugs. I'll have 15 or more in the sleeves
Found some in my gloves by the sawmill yesterday…
Another wonderful contribution from china. stink bugs.
I’m from Kentucky. We mix stink bugs with crack & smoke em! We call it crinking!
That answers the reason for brainless young folks!
Great idea for the trap. Glad it's do effective. Here in Oregon BM stinkbugs have hit our Hazelnut crops hard in recent years along with other crops. I'll be sharing this and hope it will help others.
Got to love that asymetrical warfare being carried out by china. What better way to cripple your adversaries than to damage their crops which affects economy.
I had seen displays at stores a year, or 2 before we got stink bugs. They were dedicated to omly stink bugs.
I told my husband we must be going to get stink bugs. 😅
But i seriously dont remember seeing a stink bug before that. And I've always lived in the country, but im sure there had to be a few.
PS my chickens also eat locust when they come around
Use a low power LED light. They do not generate heat.
Up until 3 years ago, we'd get hammered with box elders and ladybugs. I'm glad we don't anymore...but their replacement is worse!
I have tried the bottle trick where you cut the clear water bottle and flip the top over use electrical tape to completely cover the whole thing but most important put a lil round light in there so you can stick an ink pen in the opening to push on the light to make it come on and push it to make it come off so if you try that don’t forget to put the little round led light ( dollar store ) in there before electrical taping it up. The only thing I haven’t tried is what you’ve done and spraying inside the plastic bottle w ortho
Be careful. My wife is a blood cancer nurse and most of her patients are there because of pesticides. Its not worth getting leukemia over. Although I do hate those bugs with a passion.
Don't forget to add that those patients were farmers of the past who worked with chemicals that are now banned or people that worked for those companies that de-bug the lawns in the fancy subdivisions or the elite estates.
Let me just say round-up class action lawsuit settlement.
Thanks Danner for the great advice.
I get stink bugs in my home from time to time. I generally will pick it up and check it out as it crawls on my hands. They are amazing w their shield of armor.
I have never once smelled one being stinky. I have no idea what that smells like!!
Live in Michigan.
Well let me tell you this....squish it and you will never want to smell it AGAIN!
A stink bug is in our home and we are hiding under the covers
These came from Asia… like everything else we never had before.
Thanks for this. I don't know what the magic is in 409, but I have been spraying that on them, in and out of my house. It works too.
Yes. There’s lots of stuff they don’t like th me smell of and that’s the basis of many non insecticidal approaches. We just didn’t want to move them elsewhere in and and on the house. They land once in this and worse case they go die somewhere.
Awesome idea
Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! Roasted stink bug sounds particularly heinous. I found some cat vomit one morning where my cat had eaten one of these disgusting things, I can imagine how awful that would've been 😾
Stink bugs and Asian lady bugs were never here when I was growing up in the 1970’s-80’s
Great video I think this would work on other types of bugs as well
Stink bugs smell terrible but apparently they are caviar to Chickens. You just need to get a flock of chickens.
Chickens will also deal with ticks.
I also have that lamp in my living room. lamp from ikea.... 😅😅😅
Might not want to ruin it with Bifenthrin, but the rice paper laps are an inexpensive, no tools option. I guess technically if it’s dry it’s not a big deal. It didn’t volatile and it’s not very toxic to humans or pets.
thank you for this video ..
As the sun shines on my
house , this bug is attracted
to the area .. 👍
Great idea! However, I dislike using generalized pest chemicals which also kill beneficial wildlife. I use milky spore to control (not get rid of) Japanese beetles because it only affects that beetle's grubs. Is there a method or product that only affects these stink bugs?
Only method I know of, is investing your time using a shop vac to suck those stinky pests up and leave them in the vac till their dead. You can usually suck them up by the hundreds if not more on a outside wall where the sun heats the wall. I’ve even found them by the hundreds hiding under the cushions on our patio swing! Any place they can find to stay warm that’s where they hang out.
I seen in Lowe's a few weeks ago they are selling "the stink bug killer" I swear I think that's the exact name. However I'm sure if I read the label its prolly dozens of other insects it kills as well.
We use Neem oil and Castile soap diluted with water to spray the bad bugs directly. You have to be careful and use it only near sundown when the bees leave in your garden for the night. The oil and soap residue doesn't harm plants, and it only works with a direct spray on the bug. 1 teaspoon neem oil, 1/4 teaspoon castile soap, 1 quart lukewarm water. Mix well and fill up a spray bottle (or pump sprayer). I wouldn't use it directly on produce you'll eat like kale, spinach, or salad greens since the soap is pretty difficult to wash off. But it works wonders on plant leaves you don't eat - plus if you're going to peel produce like squash and cucumbers, or peel off outer layers like cabbage - the soap residue isn't an issue.
In my experience Raid ant and roach in the aerosol can is by far the most effective, longest lasting bug control product for home use. Apparently bugs die from just crawling across it - for 6 months to a year.
We got rid of the two full grown trees in our front yard because we wanted to put on solar panels (they created too much shade for panels to be effective), and the stink bugs were jumping from the trees to our house. Never got the panels. Still have stink bugs. We’ll try your idea.
We have the same invasion. They come down the Wood Stove pipe.
Oh right. We need to light a fire! I forgot this year. I’m on it this weekend! Don’t need them plugging up the catalytic burner!
In Wisconsin they arrived about 10 years ago. They are horrible. I’m in the countryside and this year it’s been a bumper crop of stink bugs. They are just so horrible.
FYI: stink bugs will survive a wash and dry cycle in the laundromat.
😂
Plenty of those here in Oregon 😬
They are insane in Oregon (Willamette Valley) in the spring. Our house was blanketed a couple years ago. Couldn’t go outside for weeks. We’ve been successful with Daitomaceous earth. We put it in crazy hot spots like our garage and on the deck.
DE does work to keep them from nesting. We are looking at that as part of a larger strategy of the insulation and board & batten siding that will be coming in future episodes! Thank you!
I live in a townhouse in Oregon and they have gotten crazy in the fall the past couple years on our balcony! We got some wood square decorative tiles that they like to stay in. I was today years old when I found out they were invasive and not native 😂 I just killed one inside and I’m so glad I found this video.
We are in the same area, and have a log home in the woods. The logs have lots of cracks and they love it. I usually start with a shop vac to remove the bulk, then I use a spray. They will die in the shop vac, but be sure to empty it before to long or the stench inside will be nasty.
Also in Willamette Valley - I hate them. I use lavender oil on my vacuum bag to mask the stink. Looking forward to trying these traps. Would be super cool if it works on box elder beetles too.
We put the bug bombs in our outbuilding, took care of business. Also live in Oregon-
Excellent information! They are aweful! Just had 3 show up in my place this week. Vacuming makes the vacuum stink too! Going to give this a shot.
All you need is to plant marigolds and mint and you won't have stinkbugs. We never had them, and my mom planted marigolds every year and we had the mint growing already.
Have mint and marigolds all over our property, and we have hundreds of stinkbugs!!!
Age 62 and never saw one of these in ohio until last few years.
Little brown button on the wall
Why’s it there, why don’t I fall?
Oh, my God! It’s sprouted wings!
Must be one of them Stink Bug things!
by Osmosis Fogg, “poet”.
I've tried a variation of the bright light/pan that has water in it instead of pesticide, which is marginally effective. Terminix can't stop them either... here in SW VA they are really bad. I just ordered a gal of the pesticide- we'll try it. Also, we ID'd a possible entry point on the fireplace wall exhaust vent and are installing a stainless steel mesh screen. What a PITA.
I was out in natural bridge a week ago. My camper was covered in these things. I'd never seen so many before.
It works; I built one!
You are totally grossing me out, I can feel my gag reflex. Their smell in the vacuum bag by the hundreds is disgusting. We were hit bad last fall for the first time. We had near 1,000 of them indoors. I covered every crack I could find and they still made it in. This spring they came in again. Our new addition was invaded and I was sucking them up in the vacuum. 2x a day+ I’d go out and collect over 50 at a time. So pesky! This summer has been good but they are back on us now in the fall. 80s in October must be prom night! Every evening, they come by the 100s. I’m fed up with them. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll give it a try.
If you go out in the late afternoon, you may be able to find out where they are landing on the house and see them scooting inside under a window or soffit vent. Once they find an opening they signal and all the others come in the same way.
These Stinkers will survive the apocalypse with the cockroaches
In about 1961 my little 4 yr old sister would get a pie tin and a cup of water, go out park herself in the dirt of our Southern California side yard , mix the dirt and water to make mud pie then she would put black stink bugs upside down all around the top and would be so proud of her stink bug pie! We still joke about it sometimes.
Sounds like my younger brother...but he's 65.
Stink bugs hate stink. Add odors to get rid of them. Cinnamon repels most.
Talstar is the BEST on any bugs ! I'm in SC and it kills everything! I spray every entry on the outside nothing gets past that stuff , Nothing !
Yes. It’s just a miracle chemical. Decimates fire ants. If you spray the perimeter nothing gets in or dies shortly after entering. And it LASTS for months. We make sure Sage isn’t out when spraying and give it a good chance to dry. It doesn’t have the knock down that other chemicals have, but wow, is it effective!
only thing i would add is be sure to use a bulbs that dont get to hot could burn cloth
We get them, not far from Allentown actually, but not nearly ss bad as you. I'll occasionally see one or two. The other day I counted 7 on the outside of my screen door and that was a lot.
The fields around us and the type of trees on our property play a big role. Thank you!
Thanks awesome trap
We are in central Alabama. Before 2019, we'd never seen a stink bug. Now, every late spring/early fall they are everywhere! I hate thise nasty things.
When I first moved to where I'm living now the first fall was horrible with stink bugs and Boxelder bugs. There would be thousands of them to the point you could not see the paint on the building. I sprayed a natural cedar based outdoor flea spay on the building which did help. I also used nematodes for fleas the same year. Not sure what helped but the stink bug & Boxelders invasion has all but disappeared. I still see them but on occasion some will come into my house but it's minimal. I also got ducks 3 years ago so I think they may have helped keeping the bug population down.
We are hoping to get on a trial using the samurai wasp (only predator for them - they use stink bug eggs to lay their eggs). I’m hoping those programs will expand.
@@MrZZeroGah yes an invasive species to kill an invasive species. What eats the samurai wasp?
Was that product Cedarcide ? It's been a good product for us with the dogs .
@@hosslane320 It was Wondercide which is very similar.
Get a spray bottle and put some dawn dish soap in the bottle and add some water spray them and they will die
Great video! Very informative!
Thank you!
@@DannerCronise I figured that light would be key. I would hear one flying around in my dark livingroom and it would land on the T.V. or laptop. Yuk. Generally I scoop them up in a medicine bottle to seal up the stink but I just have a few in the house. I'll use your idea here on the farm for sure. Thanks for the video.
Stink bugs got on my tomatoes when the drought got bad.I just sprayed them off the plants with the garden hose..Gone overnight.The extension agent advised me they were looking for water..Had no more problem after that.,
I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and rubbing alcohol they hate kills pretty good to
Danner, a link from your Dad appeared on my feed, and it’s great! (We grew up together in Jones Valley.)
The lighting in the outro dialog section was really good. All of the upload was very good. Subscribed!
Just get a couple cats. My two are stink bug mass murderers.
My cat won’t even touch them lol
Thank you!!!
Interesting. In my region a stink bug is a beetle that only walks on the ground and shoots a terrible scent from its rear as a defense. It looks VERY VERY different from any of these. It's funny, we actually have a bug that DOES look like this, but it doesn't smell bad, and (thankfully) stays outside.
Yes. If you have the invasive species you know it. There will be hundreds of them. In the last 24 hours we’ve had a huge surge. Now they are everywhere.
Man y'all lucky 😭
A Brown marmorated stink bug is this stink bug. I wouldn't wish them on anyone.
Another gift from China
ASIA
If DIY Max is killing these bugs that quickly what is it doing to your health???
We don’t get it on us. It’s applied wet to the cloth and dries. Just don’t touch the cloth.
@@MrZZeroG when it dries it will flake off & then you will be breathing it in & you are still breathing in the fumes?
I live in an apartment building and directly in front of my balcony is a maple tree. I live in the southwest area of the province of Ontario in Canada for the last 4 years I have been battling stink bugs in my apartment. And today I found three. I didn't know what they were the first time I found them and I killed them big mistake. In the spring I opened the the windows to let some fresh air in . Then I went to the grocery store when I returned both window screens we're covered in stink bugs, Dutch Elm bore bugs add an assortment of ladybugs Japanese beetles and other crawly insects. I go through this every year. They put a large light directly beside my living room window on the side of our building. I get all the bugs and spiders galore. I spoke to my landlord about it and was told they don't do anything about it
Collect them and force amazon/Walmart etc. to pay!!!!
Ruin baby powder on the top rim of the pan to make sure they don't get out people do it with ant farms
you get them in the fall? I get them year round...
I put superglue on a stinkbug and it continued on like a little tank.
I have a feeling that the most effective way to catch the largest number would be by stacking corrugated cardboard panels on top of each other then space them apart by around 3mm to 4mm enclosing the top and side edges leaving the the bottom open. (maybe making the bottom of every panel 20mm longer than the last to give a 'stair step' landing zone) They are trying to find a hibernation spot for the winter, they seem to like spots that have spaces only about as thick as the bug itself. So this style may work as a population reduction measure. Hang the carboard frames up all over the farm/orchard in fall. Wait for them to fill up and then toss them in a bonfire. Chemical free so you wont kill any wanted/helpful bugs with the pyrethrin.
You are getting just a fraction of them that happen to be moving around with your trap. If you want to force them out of their hibernation spots put up your trap and then put a space heater in the room and crank it to like 90 degrees, they will be flying toward you trap in no time (best results are at night or in a windowless room)
Be warned, I MAY be pulling this out of my ass... but there is a good chance this is also correct. They navigate by using the sun as their reference frame, normally the point light source is so far away that it stays stationary in the sky so they try to keep the angle between the direction of flight and the sun at a constant. But when you turn a light on, their whole system is screwed, now the "sun" isn't staying stationary anymore and the attempt to keep the angle constant results in the bug flying in circles.
Wonder if diatomaceous earth would kill them... They would have to crawl thru it..
Yes. It typically works on any insect with an exoskeleton like stink bugs. We have been discussing what we want to put in the walls in addition to spraying boracare… we might put that on the list! Thank you.
