house is infiltrated with stink bugs. we keep a tea bottle handy at the kitchen table, when we see one or more we trap them in the bottle. can't find where they are coming from, with it cold outside, you'd thunk they'd be dormant. any of ya'll fighting them too?

Those stink bugs are like unwanted trashy former relatives, you need to stop them from breeding. They come in looking for a place to keep warm, just like deadbeat relations. Unless you want to have your house fumigated, your doing what works to get rid of them.

Well, Shameless,,,,you just gonna have to get a few tubes of the cheep caulking from walmart and go around every wall to floor joint and fill in those TEENY TINY cracks that once before you "Thought" them dang bugs could NOT crawl thru,,,especially if you have carpet on the floors!! Last year or so I kept getting them dang roaches in the house and just could not find where they was getting in,,,,,,UNTIL I had to pull the carpet away in 3 rooms for the complete TILE floor job AND,,,,,,, and there it was,,,!!! Bought a bunch of steel wool and filled the bigger cracks and then followed with the caulking ,,,ain't seen a bug since then,,,,But NOW I gots them dang mices but I had already found where they was getting in and repaired that ,,and NOW I am on the hunt with mouse traps and Peanut Butter,,,,,

Sadly we cannot manage to keep Coyote Bait from roaming and disappearing here. Been close to a dozen dropped at the gate cats by the ARSEHOLES from nearby, shack up in the barn then are GONE, find some hair and a few bones on occasion.
