The Stink Bug Must Die

And it sounds like we may soon have a new way to do that.

We’ve been plagued by these things for the last 5 years and it pretty much gets worse every year. I have to turn the out­side light off at night in Sep­tem­ber or the entire front of the door ends up cov­ered in them.

    How bad does it smell?

    Well it’s not a pleas­ant smell but that’s only when you squish them anyway.

    They don’t bite, but they dam­age crops and they get into every­where. We keep find­ing them in jack­ets and things.

    BAH. Cant find the actual arti­cle that was passed around at work.

    The clos­est I can get is this arti­cle: http://​rich​mon​dreg​is​ter​.com/​l​i​f​e​s​t​y​l​e​s​c​o​m​m​u​n​i​t​y​/​x​6​9​9​4​6​1​1​8​1​/​I​n​v​a​s​i​o​n​-​o​f​-​t​h​e​-​l​a​d​y​b​ugs

    it doesnt men­tion any­thing about the Uni­ver­sity of Ken­tucky pro­gram nor the USDA, which has told our groundskeeper to not use presti­cide to kill the bugs unless he and the com­pany wanna face a fine.
