    Last summer I ended up using up 2 rolls of blue painters tape on the windows, every crack around the windows, in the jams, etc, had the bastards in them. The 2 room air conditioners were even worse, I tried my best to get rid of them, but painters tape only goes so far. I have used a shop vac, but I really do need to get a bigger one, mine is one of the really small ones, i think i need to add a bigger motor to it, to upgrade the sucking power.

    The funny thing about the link posted above is that they say to introduce wasps to get rid of the stink bugs, well then what do i introduce to kill the wasps? I HATE ground wasps almost as I do stink bugs.

    Get a male cat from the pound that has spent some timeas a stray outdoors. Keep him in doors. Make sure he is fixed or you will get another smell in the house. No peanut butter nessesary.

    That's odd, over the past year the yard at my parents place has been covered with these things, i have seen more than a few inside as well. I can not remember seeing this number of the bugs in any one place before. Nasty looking things, about the size of a dollar bill folded in half. If i see them in the yard a bb gun works great. If downrange is clear a 22lr works better, but i just try to kill as many as i can.
