Janet Pizaro on Jul 11, 2016Are you sure they are stink bugs and not tomato horn worms and squash worms?Spray them with a horticultural oil. Several applications may be necessary.Helpful Reply

Luis on Jul 11, 2016Since these pests feed and lay eggs on garden plants, you may also want to try spraying them with a kaolin clay (mineral clay) solution as a method for stink bug control. This prevents the bugs from both laying eggs (as they won’t attach) and feeding on plants. It’s also safe for plants, including edible ones, and washes off easily.Helpful Reply

Jennie Lee on Jul 12, 2016If you're sure it's stink bugs, there are special baits that look like a bag on a stake. They attract the stink bugs into the bag. Then you throw it away!Helpful Reply
