Last year around here it seemed they were an epidemic. They were everywhere. I can only imagine what it going to be like this year, almost biblical. I just saw one on the coffee table.
Anyway for my place, since I've no credentials, I have been using Permathrin, Pyrithins, etc. Stuff you get at the store as whatever you spray on them will kill them, soap works. Thing is, they are hard to spray. I had to set bombs off in my trucks and seriously used 3 per truck because those bugs really get in to the smallest of spaces.
They seem to go under roof shingles and other small cracks and if you can't actually hit them with the juice you are wasting your time. I fogged the crap out of the attic but it didn't seem to help. I am scared.
I knocked out huge colonies of box elder bugs because they all came out to bask in the sun at the same time and I doused them then. I was curious if there was a way to lure the stink bugs out to one locality for a good dose of bug-b-gone. These bugs don't seem to congregate. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated of course.
