Stink Bug Problem

You're in the same area I am ( maryland , va, pa ) they are the asian version if I'm correct. We had them rather bad a few years ago in PA. I went to the store and bought a super soaker, filled it with 1/4 bleach and would go around and shoot them. They never came back the year later...I also put up a couple of bird feeders around the yard. I'm not quite sure if birds actually ate them or not, but worth a shot.

The deal is the little SOB's keep finding their way in - find them around the doors and such or on the curtains. Just want to treat the outsides to knock them down.
I normally treat around the foundation with a yard spray of some type but they don't seem to be working on these guys.
So was looking for a specific spray by name and not ingredients.

And Frank - I have maybe 5 different bird feeders now - but they are not dieting on these guys.

Found this site that has an organic spray:

Never used it but it's worth a shot.

And can you blame them?

I grew up in the Metro D.C. area and we always had them around. Of course as a kid you aren't concerned with how much of a problem they are or aren't.

That'll be the stink, more than likely!
