Is there anyway to get rid of stink bugs? They are as bad as roaches.

I wish I knew too. All I have ever known to do is carefully catch them and chuck them carefully out the door! :( Heaven forbid you crush one of these little odor makers!!--PU!!!!

A direct hit with bug spray - icluding the homemade kind kills them. We had THOUSANDS of them in our attic last year and this year. The warm days bring them out. We easily would get 40 a day to shop vac up.

As much as we hated to do it we bombed the house. You have to use Hot Shot Foggers though, not regular bug/flea bombs. You have to put them everywhere including attics, crawl space if its inside and basement. You still see a few bugs for a few weeks afterwards, but they're dead or well on their way to it. There's also a site Cold CLimate gardening i think that has a lot of info on them and things different people of tried to get rid of them.

Good Luck!
