What should I do to get rid of stink bugs off my raspberry plants?
I have a lot of raspberry bushes in my yard that I use to make jam and other stuff. Last year I noticed that some tasted like a stink bug smells so couldn’t use them. How do I get rid of stink bugs? Please help me claim back my raspberries!

Here is a diy spray you can use, spray it on:
- 1 part water
- 1 part dish soap
- 1 part lavender oil
DIRECTIONSAdd all of the ingredients to your spray bottle and be sure to shake before each use. While the dish soap will help kill off stink bugs, the lavender oil smell deters other stink bugs from coming back to your plants.
Fill a spray bottle with 2 cups of hot water, 1 cup of white vinegar, and 1/2 cup dish soap, then spraying the bugs directly.
