Stink Bugs

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

Anyone have problems with "Stink Bugs"?
Several years ago there was an infestation of Stink Bugs here in the South. There is a Bird that loves to eat them and there was an imbalance that year.
Since it has got cold here the past week we have got stink bugs getting into the house here and there. Have no idea how they get in. Have a pretty tight energy efficient house.. Those little bugs sure can make a smell when you try to catch them with a paper towel. One bug can smell up a room. The cats will catch one and then the spray. I think some got into our new Heating and air system. Seems like when the blower comes on we get that smell. I try to suck them up with our Dyson vacuum and long extension. I then empty outside.

I feel for you, only live about seventy miles from you in Alabama. We have the same problem! Nasty little suckers.

and I can tell you the 3.0 model works on stink bugs.

I have one that I painted camo, but you have to use sea salt or kosher, table salt won't kill 'em

I just use Mortons table salt. Sometimes it takes a couple shots with the bigger bugs.

These buggers have to be caught and killed before they get a chance to spray or the smell fills the room and anything that touches the bug.

Havent had that happen unless I squish them... mostly the salt gun stuns them and I can pick em up with a tissue and flush them. I dont have an infestation though... the salt gun is more just for fun but if you have an infestation then Id call an exterminator.

They're all over here in NE Alabama too.

We had the absolutely most perfect spot to park the camper last year bowhunting, for the first 4 weeks of the season.
Then it turned cooler and the stink bugs got in. We duct taped every square inch of that trailer and they STILL figured out how to get in!

Them things are NASTY!!!!
