If technology was better you could just buy a field emitter, basically it's a device of my own that if I made I'd have around 500k in a few weeks maybe, anyway just place the device in your house and tune it to the bug frequency and it puts an invisible barrier around ya house that only bugs can hear, when they enter your zone the field basically fries their brains n they die instantly, maybe I'll call it the windshield 🤣🤣🤣 but yea, it takes as much power as a lamp and can possibly repel larger creatures without death, like messin with a beehive but not as dangerous
I was all set and raring to go when you said we need some alcohol and we were going to have to mix it... and then I came rushing back down and saw I had all the wrong types of alcohol, but made a stiff drink and sat back and thought I will sit and learn and enjoy the video with a drink anyways! Cheers
Haven't seen these little bastards in 8 years but now they're back, I've won the war against these hellspawn stinkbugs once and damnit I'll do it again. Thanks for the help!
I use a similar way to the bottle trick. Get a mason jar with a lid add 1/4 cup of water and a few squirts of soap, Shake well then go push them in. With the soapy bubbles, it traps them and they can't fly out when you open it for the next bug.
I need old tractor repellent. I cleaned out the weeds around my barn and found myself neck deep in non running tractors. Don't know when breeding season is or I'd mix some alcohol and essential hydraulic oil and spray it all around.
The video was nice but I really liked what he said about living in a trailer that you and your wife paid for. And you refuse to build until your land is paid for. My people parish from the lack of knowledge. My car is paid for and I refuse to get a new car with a payment. My thought process is exactly like yours sir. Thank you for your wisdom, I just hope I wasn’t the only one who caught that. 😎😎😎
Debt is prison.....being debt free is heavenly! We don't need to keep up with the Jone's...we just need a simply comfortable warm place to sleep, eat and live outside
You're so blessed to be able to live in a trailer until your land is paid for! Where we live, it's against the law or we would have done this as well. Just wanted to share so you know how fortunate you are. Keep on sharing these videos! Love them.
I love this. We are over run with stink bugs, especially after this last mild year. Not going to tolerate another winter of a million stink bugs in the house. Yuck.
I do the same thing with the bottle, just add a little bit of soapy water in the bottle so they die. I used to always have a spray bottle with soapy water around to kill them, now I spray everything with Talstar Pro. Highly recommended it if you are in a state that you can buy without a pesticide license, if not I would definitely try the sprays in the video.
I use dawn soap and water in a bottle. They die on contact. Been doing this every year so far .works great.i can usually get about 7 or 8 in a day inside my house. Usually on my drapes.
Sounds awesome , if you can still get them in a bottle , does this concoction attract them to it and get in themselves then killing them ? Definitely gonna try the bottle trick !!!!! Thanks 👍
I used cedarwood oil to make a spray for fleas on my dog. Works great. I will have to try this. They, the leaf-footed bugs poke holes in my tomatoes and then they taste nasty. I will try the cedarwood oil with soapy water for the tomatoes. Thanks for the advice.
Omgosh..thanks I hate these stink bugs all over my house, and been using peppermint oil but there's so many. I will try the bottle trick I guess but I hate them flying around my head. Your farm looks omg, so beautiful...that's the way to live. Makes my one acre look so little now.
This was going to be the only comment: I really like that tractor. Added bit: Stink bugs are scumbags, and our back yard is mostly corn field, and when it's not its soy; both are favorites of stink bugs.
OMG! I am freaking out because I find a few in the house (in R.I.) I hate bugs......I gently pick them up with toilet paper and flush! Also have tried ZEVO on window sills...Thank goodness it seems to work.....
Hey Josh 🇺🇲 that was a great Vlog I am covered up with stink bugs at my house in Alabama I will be spraying they're terrible and everywhere and the little white bugs thanks for the tip have a great day 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO !🇺🇲🇺🇲
we haven't been able to get 91% alcohol around here since March!!! with covid, 70% is available very seldom. Even online it's hard as hell to get. the hospital was out of it for awhile. We get Elm seed beetles, I'll try your tip, the vacuum is getting full.
Check on my stoney ridge farmer amazon store..there's a link to 99% my brotha. Affiliate link..means amazon gives me a referal fee...that's part of the way I earn my living
I need to try this. I just used some packing tape yesterday to pick one up, and closed right in, but I was thinking duct tape might have worked better. I’m going to try your method.
Like your living simple paying for your land before you get a house it will be a beutiful home when its finished thanks for info stinks bugs have arrived in NC
Welllll I cant thank this mam enough and his Friend Paul! I grew up in Chicago as a child never heard of stink bugs until I moved to the burbs as an adult. My students told me about them. And boy am I glad. I kill everything for my twin daughters who hate bugs(me too but im the only parent on deck) . This bug has tormented the ladies since Friday; its Tuesday. I had to sleep in their room on the floor; one was calling my name all night awake and sleep. Got those Gatorade bottles yesterday. Found that sucker and bottle him just like you said. He was upside down so I thought it would work! No miss technique. Best RUclips tip ever!
What I found to work well for capturing stick bugs in the house is empty prescription bottles, you can place your bottles around the house so there's always one ready when needed.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmercan’t you put some on spikes around the house to make examples of them for the others to see? 😂 Only if they were smart enough to get the message.
Thank you for this, going to try they are all over the outside my house. I think I'm more impressed that you got a mobile home for $3500. Ours cost $99,000 and it is pre-owned with no land 😭
I have little led lights along the wall. When I hear the zzzzip noise or my cats are watching them intently...I know one came in. I just get a little plastic cup & scoop it up. Lucky for me I only get maybe 10 every winter. I might need I mighthyer solution if it was worse...😁
Here are some elaborations for the Gatorade bottle trick. 1. Put a small amount of soapy water in the bottle to drown the bugs and mitigate the stink. (Do this in your shop vacs as well, if you’re vacuuming the stinkers.) 2. For bugs that are beyond your reach - and they do like heights - extend the bottle using vacuum cleaner wands or similar and they will jump down, usually all the way down, but you may need to tap the wand to coax the critter all the way into the bath you have prepared.
Thank you for the bottle tip. We use a special insecticide that Southern States carries. I'll have to try the Eco Smart. Thanks again. P.S. Hoping for a cold winter this year to beat down the population....come on polar vortex (giggle).
Not sure about the cedar idea. We have a cabin and it has cedar siding and they are all over it. I’ll be sure to try the pesticide, thanks for the tips.
I accidentally discovered the best trap ever after suffering two years....I left a potato on top microwave....after a week I was so grossed out seeing one on the potato eating! Then I noticed several more as it was a large potato....Harris is the best killer and repellant but I sprayed the potato and barracaded myself in my bedroom calling my hubby...when he came home he bagged the potato in doing so it collapsed and inside is where they were hiding and dying! Haven't seen one since! But each august I'm getting my home ready including spraying Harris all around it and it repels them from all windows n doors......along with closing all gaps and spraying all hear vents it's safe indoors and out and is the BEST!
I bought my 65 Nova wagon project car from a guy over your way. It had a few of those things in there. They sure do stink when you squish them. Not sure they liked the Michigan winter. Haven't seen any around in years.
I keep a container of Dawn in water and some napkins, catch it in a napkin drop in dawn water. They also leave pheromones for other sticks to locate and join in the hunt for a place to hibernate. My fingers don't stink, I don't squish em.
Food grade diatomaceous earth works better, faster and will not kill your pets (in fact it's so safe that puppies and kittens can even eat it to take care of parasites among other things)... whereas cedar essential oil sure could. It's incredibly cheap and very easy to spray or spread. Takes care of all creepy crawling things.
seen on a othe chanal that they are attracted to shining stuff, he recomended to put one of those aluminium BBQ/ lasagne bowls under a lamp with dish soap and water
*I went a little different route with the "home" mine is an RV that i purchased for $12,000.00 it's a 35 foot with 3 slide outs. would have loved to find something decent enough to live in for $3500 that would have been a God's send. i'm buying an acre and a half and i currently have 2 Rvs and a run down busted up mobile home on the property but i am being over run with stink bugs in the fall and those invasive lady bugs you mentioned in the spring also. too bad that mixture can't be sprayed using a pressure washer or something of that sort would make it quicker and easier if it could. i have one of those also and many cedar trees currently growing on this lot as well. any way i'll give this a try and see what happens*
I hate stinkbugs, they are so annoying. They don't benefit anything in this world. They crawled all over the interior of my house, upstairs for some reason. They crawled around me, one even got underneath my blanket as I was trying to sleep. Now I am scared of bugs, but for some reason stinkbugs are the scariest bug. That scared the crap out of me. I turned over and I saw a couple staring at me as if I was some threat. Usually I'm fine with 1-2 stinkbugs crawling on a wall every known and then, but this time it was different, especially in winter. It scared the crap out of me, I went in the other room and had a full blown panic attack. Thank you for this video.
We have so many, I found out they were hiding in my oven vent, because whenever I'd cook, they'd come right out from the vent, and fly in my face! So we sealed all the openings on the roof, with tight wire that they can't fit through, but still let's the vents vent. ALSO! I HAVE A TIP TO ADD! We've been scooping them in a random container since last year like this, just scooping em, but their enemy is dish soap, PLUS it smells better, really you could use any smell-good, because they stink after about ten of em are in there. Always throw out and get new container!
Same!!! I turn on my oven vent and hear ping, ping, ping and smelling them. The worst is they would come in my bathroom through the vent fan. And it's a 3 function setup, combo light, vent fan that sucks air outside and a HEATER fan that blows fresh air into the bathroom!!! So you really get that freshly cooked stink bug experience. Nothing like sitting on the toilet and having a stink bug fall on your head!!! Or taking a shower and hearing that telltale ping, clink, plink as a stink bug decides to join you right as you're washing your hair and can't even open your eyes!
These invasive critters are horrible. My first encounter with one has me terrified of them. I went to capture it and it sprayed my whole arm before hitting the jar I'd put vinegar in. Anywhere it sprayed started to heat up, almost like muscle rub does. I couldn't get the smell off of me for days. Needless to say when I come across one I'm in a panic to grab a jar and capture it. Thank you for sharing. From Travelers Rest, SC
Awesome advice, thanks so much! I’m definitely going to try to spray the eastern side of my house where they seem to like to hang out (and also where my deck and the most used door into my house is located grrr…). For inside I have found that duct tape works great in addition to the bottle method. I take a piece of duct tape, stick it on the stink bug so they can’t escape and then I thoroughly enjoy folding that tape over knowing that they’re trapped and dying in their own weird stench liquid. When you get good at the technique you can get multiple stink bugs in one “taping”, so satisfying!
That's funny, they like the heat but the eastern side of my house is where the sun is not shining in the afternoon but that's also the side their are millions. Also, I use the two cup method to catch the ones inside, or my wife who is shorter uses a vacuum insense method,
I'm gonna give this a try. I had squash bugs decimate my pumpkin patch. I believe if this works for stinks it should work for squash bugs since they look about the same.
Put the alcohol in gatorraid bottle and u can’t smell the stink bugs inside it, can reuse bottle with captured stink bugs inside and leave inside house without getting new bottle every time
I know this is an older video. But I live on a farm and had a MASSIVE stink bug infestation last fall 2020. They were ALL over my screen porch. It was traumatizing for me to even go outside to feed my horses. I spent an hour every evening just spraying every bug I saw while they would dive bomb me. I couldn't close my eyes at night without having nightmares of seeing them, smelling them and feeling them hitting me as they flew all around me from earlier in the evening outside. I found the best way to kill those bastards was get a 2 Gal commercial pump sprayer, fill with water, some vinegar, and Dr Bronner's peppermint Castile soap and Lavender Castile soap. Pump it up, adjust the wand sprayer and spray every single one of those bastard stink bugs. With the pressure sprayer wand you can create a stream that will reach the top of your house and roof. I found the stink bugs loved gathering and sunning themselves on our nice new architecture shingles roof, particularly 2 of our porch roofs which get the most sun. The shingles are a dark colour close to black. Stink bugs are attracted to darker colours and warm areas. I have found them nesting in the overhang shingles and attic vents. They have even invaded our vehicles!!!! I used to spray permethrin fly spray on them and they would laugh at me, it doesn't penetrate their waxy protective armor. And I was getting the chemicals overspray all over me that are highly toxic to bees and the beneficial fly predators that I release every 3 weeks for fly control for my horses, plus dangerous to my outside barn cats and wildlife. So I did some research. And the absolute BEST and fastest way to kill stink bugs dead is a good concentration of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint and Lavender Castile soap mixed with water. The soap breaks down the waxy protective coating on the bastards and the essential oils kills them quickly and without them releasing their stench. And the overspray from wind and aiming high above your head is just a precursor to your shower. But it is very slippery, especially on wooden porches, decks, stairs etc. I have been spraying every single day this entire year, all around the outside of my house in nooks, crannies, door jams, window sills, attic vents, underneath porches, window shutters, areas I saw stink bugs last year including crevices, air vents, wheel wells, of our vehicles etc. I'm hoping this will have an impact this fall when the buggers emerge, perhaps I killed their offspring and the ones nesting. Time will tell.
I use a spray bottle like he had on the video. put about a inch and a 1/2 of dawn dishwashing liquid fill the rest of the way real slowly with water Shake It Up good. Spray them down an it kills them
I’ve caught hundreds with a Gatorade bottle. Another RUclips channel said that was inhumane, like I care. Last year I put a little gorilla glue in the bottom to keep them from flying out however this year I’ve found a squirt of handsoap does just as well.
I kill stink bugs in the garden using Dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle like you used for the cedar oil. You must spray the soapy water directly on the bugs to kill them.
Thanks for the great tips . Stink bugs are not much of a problem in my area . Lucky me . I do like the fact that the non toxic stuff kills all kinds of other bugs . Just wondering how do you heat your mobile home in the winter . Thanks .
Everything is toxic if you guzzle enough. If you drink enough water you'll die. Isopropyl alcohol is exceedingly toxic. DDT is far far less toxic to humans than isopropyl alcohol. I don't know where anyone gets this idea that something is "non-toxic" or maybe it's more like if you can't pronounce the chemical name for it and it sound scary it must be bad right? LOL
Easiest way I have found is a 2 step solution:
Step 1- burn the entire area to the ground
Step 2- move far far away
If technology was better you could just buy a field emitter, basically it's a device of my own that if I made I'd have around 500k in a few weeks maybe, anyway just place the device in your house and tune it to the bug frequency and it puts an invisible barrier around ya house that only bugs can hear, when they enter your zone the field basically fries their brains n they die instantly, maybe I'll call it the windshield 🤣🤣🤣 but yea, it takes as much power as a lamp and can possibly repel larger creatures without death, like messin with a beehive but not as dangerous
🤣 agree
works for snakes too. giggle
Yeah they hate that burning wood smell. The one thing they think stinks!
Haha!

Tried the bottle trick. Works very well. Caught 20 in about 5 minutes
The Gatorade bottle trick is amazing. I successfully used it immediately! Thank you.
Lovely knowledge to interrupt their mating season is a bonus literally.
You can use polysorbate 80 for dissolving oil in water
Haven't seen these little bastards in 8 years but now they're back, I've won the war against these hellspawn stinkbugs once and damnit I'll do it again. Thanks for the help!
I like using my propane torch on these buggers, it really heats em up in a split second. Very satisfying.
I use a similar way to the bottle trick. Get a mason jar with a lid add 1/4 cup of water and a few squirts of soap, Shake well then go push them in. With the soapy bubbles, it traps them and they can't fly out when you open it for the next bug.
I need old tractor repellent. I cleaned out the weeds around my barn and found myself neck deep in non running tractors. Don't know when breeding season is or I'd mix some alcohol and essential hydraulic oil and spray it all around.

We have so many, I found out they were hiding in my oven vent, because whenever I'd cook, they'd come right out from the vent, and fly in my face! So we sealed all the openings on the roof, with tight wire that they can't fit through, but still let's the vents vent.
ALSO! I HAVE A TIP TO ADD! We've been scooping them in a random container since last year like this, just scooping em, but their enemy is dish soap, PLUS it smells better, really you could use any smell-good, because they stink after about ten of em are in there. Always throw out and get new container!
Same!!! I turn on my oven vent and hear ping, ping, ping and smelling them. The worst is they would come in my bathroom through the vent fan. And it's a 3 function setup, combo light, vent fan that sucks air outside and a HEATER fan that blows fresh air into the bathroom!!! So you really get that freshly cooked stink bug experience. Nothing like sitting on the toilet and having a stink bug fall on your head!!! Or taking a shower and hearing that telltale ping, clink, plink as a stink bug decides to join you right as you're washing your hair and can't even open your eyes!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! We are inundated with the nasty pests right now.
Thank you so much. I hate stink bugs! They are so irritating.
Hi stoney ridge farms and family. I see Uncle *Earl* standing tall on the farm , good for him !
*Wooooh*
Yuk to the stink bugs! Here in Florida we are in the first of two Love Bug seasons. I feel your pain!
Vicariously living the dream through your channel. Thanks for doing what you do.
These invasive critters are horrible. My first encounter with one has me terrified of them. I went to capture it and it sprayed my whole arm before hitting the jar I'd put vinegar in. Anywhere it sprayed started to heat up, almost like muscle rub does. I couldn't get the smell off of me for days. Needless to say when I come across one I'm in a panic to grab a jar and capture it.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you
Awesome advice, thanks so much! I’m definitely going to try to spray the eastern side of my house where they seem to like to hang out (and also where my deck and the most used door into my house is located grrr…). For inside I have found that duct tape works great in addition to the bottle method. I take a piece of duct tape, stick it on the stink bug so they can’t escape and then I thoroughly enjoy folding that tape over knowing that they’re trapped and dying in their own weird stench liquid. When you get good at the technique you can get multiple stink bugs in one “taping”, so satisfying!
That's funny, they like the heat but the eastern side of my house is where the sun is not shining in the afternoon but that's also the side their are millions. Also, I use the two cup method to catch the ones inside, or my wife who is shorter uses a vacuum insense method,
I'm gonna give this a try. I had squash bugs decimate my pumpkin patch. I believe if this works for stinks it should work for squash bugs since they look about the same.
Wooooo!!! Got my notification for this one.
Keep outside light sources near the house to a miminum
Put the alcohol in gatorraid bottle and u can’t smell the stink bugs inside it, can reuse bottle with captured stink bugs inside and leave inside house without getting new bottle every time
And it kills them instantly
thumbs up shared great video well done
I enjoyed watching this video thank you..
I know this is an older video. But I live on a farm and had a MASSIVE stink bug infestation last fall 2020. They were ALL over my screen porch. It was traumatizing for me to even go outside to feed my horses. I spent an hour every evening just spraying every bug I saw while they would dive bomb me. I couldn't close my eyes at night without having nightmares of seeing them, smelling them and feeling them hitting me as they flew all around me from earlier in the evening outside. I found the best way to kill those bastards was get a 2 Gal commercial pump sprayer, fill with water, some vinegar, and Dr Bronner's peppermint Castile soap and Lavender Castile soap. Pump it up, adjust the wand sprayer and spray every single one of those bastard stink bugs. With the pressure sprayer wand you can create a stream that will reach the top of your house and roof. I found the stink bugs loved gathering and sunning themselves on our nice new architecture shingles roof, particularly 2 of our porch roofs which get the most sun. The shingles are a dark colour close to black. Stink bugs are attracted to darker colours and warm areas. I have found them nesting in the overhang shingles and attic vents. They have even invaded our vehicles!!!! I used to spray permethrin fly spray on them and they would laugh at me, it doesn't penetrate their waxy protective armor. And I was getting the chemicals overspray all over me that are highly toxic to bees and the beneficial fly predators that I release every 3 weeks for fly control for my horses, plus dangerous to my outside barn cats and wildlife. So I did some research. And the absolute BEST and fastest way to kill stink bugs dead is a good concentration of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint and Lavender Castile soap mixed with water. The soap breaks down the waxy protective coating on the bastards and the essential oils kills them quickly and without them releasing their stench. And the overspray from wind and aiming high above your head is just a precursor to your shower. But it is very slippery, especially on wooden porches, decks, stairs etc. I have been spraying every single day this entire year, all around the outside of my house in nooks, crannies, door jams, window sills, attic vents, underneath porches, window shutters, areas I saw stink bugs last year including crevices, air vents, wheel wells, of our vehicles etc. I'm hoping this will have an impact this fall when the buggers emerge, perhaps I killed their offspring and the ones nesting. Time will tell.
OMG! and I just freaked out when I saw one up in my bedroom!!! ugh!!!!!
I use a spray bottle like he had on the video. put about a inch and a 1/2 of dawn dishwashing liquid fill the rest of the way real slowly with water Shake It Up good. Spray them down an it kills them
We have them up north in Wisconsin. Thanks for the tip.
Trying these when I get home from the fall fence forum.
I’ve caught hundreds with a Gatorade bottle. Another RUclips channel said that was inhumane, like I care. Last year I put a little gorilla glue in the bottom to keep them from flying out however this year I’ve found a squirt of handsoap does just as well.
you do what works for you buddy
I kill stink bugs in the garden using Dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle like you used for the cedar oil. You must spray the soapy water directly on the bugs to kill them.
Thanks for the great tips . Stink bugs are not much of a problem in my area . Lucky me . I do like the fact that the non toxic stuff kills all kinds of other bugs . Just wondering how do you heat your mobile home in the winter . Thanks .
Everything is toxic if you guzzle enough. If you drink enough water you'll die. Isopropyl alcohol is exceedingly toxic. DDT is far far less toxic to humans than isopropyl alcohol. I don't know where anyone gets this idea that something is "non-toxic" or maybe it's more like if you can't pronounce the chemical name for it and it sound scary it must be bad right? LOL
Thanks for the information on stink bugs. Have a great day.
Great! How do I keep them out of my garden?
