More Frost

More nights when the temperature gets down to freezing is about the only thing that is going to curb our abundant crop of brown marmorated stink bugs.
When one first got into the house, I was horrified. But apparently they don't bite but do have a bad smell if you squish them. I immediately got the RAID and sprayed bug killer directly on it. This prehistoric looking leftover lasted fifteen minutes before it finally croaked from a direct hit with insecticide that kills a hornet in seconds.
They are fairly slow moving, but they do fly. Lately, I just grab them with kleenex, taking care not to squish and release the stinky feet smell, and flush them down the toilet. Oh, and it is election night.
