child safe stink bug spray

Hi Jonathan –

We’ve started finding stink bugs in our house. I’m not certain if these are bugs that hibernated over the winter or are being attracted in to the lights in these warmer days.

creepy crawlies in log home

Tech Support — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:54:08 +0000

We have a large log home in the woods near Mt. Shasta, California. Every winter we get these nasty creepy crawlies, mostly in one room, the great room, which has a 24-foot beamed ceiling. The two wings of the home have attic spaces above them, but the great room does not. It is rare that we get bugs in any other room of the house. Can you tell us if aerosol "foggers" would help at all, and if so, what kind? We did put one in each attic space a couple of years ago and had only a couple of bugs that winter, but have not re-treated with foggers since and got many more bugs this recent winter. My husband is 79 and really not thrilled about crawling around in the attic spaces, but he could put foggers in each. He is NOT going up any ladders to try to treat the outside of the home, either! Strangely, we live in an area where there is nothing but oak trees and evergreens, and we have no garden whatsoever. WHAT are these bugs eating???? Thanks for your very complete info about these bugs – it is most informative and helpful!

Dear Sir.
I need to spray my home for these stink bugs. I have a sprayer bottle that I pump up. I mailed the bug to a lab and I'm 100% sure that is what I have . It was suggested I use D-Force. What product do you suggest I use I do not want to use aerosol Cans. Do you sell the correct chemical I can mix and put in my sprayer to spray my house
Thank you.
P.S. I was told they are Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs

I've got a few stink bugs hanging around my house and some have made it inside my attic. I'm hoping you have a natural product I can use to repel them. I'm looking for something I can sprinkle up there which will last a long time and make it so they don't want to stay inside.

stink bug problem in rv

Hello,

Last September I went camping in PA and stayed at a campground near Gettysburg. I came back to NC with Stink bugs in my RV. Since I live in my RV full time, every time the weather warms some, I am finding them inside and active. I keep killing them and flushing them, but I can't seem to find where they are living. I have checked the plumbing compartments, engine compartment, storage areas to no luck.

stink bug question

Tech Support — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:55:29 +0000

Read your page. We seem to find one bug every evening on the second floor. We have no garden, and none of us recall ever seeing any outside.

With the exception of one, they all seem to be dead when we find them. I'm assuming this is because they've found an areas where there is nothing for them to eat.

stink bug and box elder bug problem in house

Tech Support — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:46:55 +0000

We live on a farm near Martinsburg, WV. In the past year we have had a problem with stink bugs in our home. The original parts of the house date from the 1700s, older parts of the house are log with chinking. We are also having a problem with box elder bugs. Last year the box elders were not as bad. The house is 2 story, about 3200 sq ft with a full atic and partial basement. I wonder if you could give us a plan of attack.

pet friendly stinkbug spray

Can I spray D-Force in the house if I have pets? I want to get rid of Stink bugs. If I cant is there anything out there pet friendly.

Thanks.

All of the products we have listed for STINKBUG CONTROL are okay to use inside and outside the home where children and pets are active. The key is to follow some common sense guidelines. For the D-FORCE AEROSOL, which is mostly used inside, you'll need to have people and pets away from the area you are treating till the area has had sufficient time to dry. This is generally an hour but could be more or less depending on the weather, if the windows can be opened, etc. On the D-Force page, you'll find a SAFETY VIDEO on how to use, handle and store D-Force which is very helpful and easy to understand. I suggest you watch this clip as it covers everything you need to know. Additionally there is the alternative "organic" options listed such as the ECO KO AEROSOL. This product is made from food oils and extracts and is as safe as it can get for use around people and pets. The trade off is it won't last as long compared to the D-Force and you should follow all the same guidelines we go over in our video but if you want the safest product option available that will control stinkbugs, this would be your choice.
