Stink bugs

Joe F

I've had a few stink bugs in the house recently (not too many). I think they are in my attic, what is the best way to kill them, boric acid?

boric acid is good for most insect pests, yes. i'd try that first, as it's cheap and safe.

Thanks DM, I'll give it a try.

no problem!
FWIW, i'm spraying all the bays in my new walls just as a precaution, that stuff is good for over 20 years!
if you have kids and/or pets, don't apply it anywhere they can get at it. a 100% safe alternative is diatomaceous earth, it does pretty much the same thing, but by abrasion, not poison. it's great for flea control as well! we get it at a local health food store.

I'll have to make sure and put some behind the walls in my basement before the drywall goes up.

Borate compunds are good for some mold prevention as well. Try to find some stuff called Tim-Bor. Kills mold, fungi and bugs.
