    You can also use a spray bottle or a pump up sprayer, a 16 ounce spray bottle full of water and add 1-2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap. The pump up sprayer add 1 gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap. Spray the bugs for 1-2 seconds and watch them fall off and die. Dawn dish soap is my favorite.

    Except, I tried the soapy water drowning trick, that works on most insects, and these bugs are somewhat resistant to it, they apparently carry air under their shell, and can last a long time in soapy water, furthermore, the shell being half air, makes them float, so the don't drown, they climb back out.

    It's hard to get the big vase under many spots in the garden. What I do is use a flat tool (such as a flat hand shovel or even a spoon) and something to poke them with. I place the flat tool a little bit away from the stinkbug and use the poke tool to make them run away towards the flat tool. He'll then be crawling on your flat tool which you can then use to carry him to the soapy water. A little tap above it and he'll fall in.

    I've never heard of stink bugs until noticed all the plants started looking dry and not surviving. When examined, the potted plants found a brown bug and then more and have tried everything like washing up liquid, vinegar, garlic spray, peppermint. I really can't do anything. I've got a small patio and over the other side of the wall are three siver birch trees and have never seen leaves or buds ? This will be coming up for 3rd year and this needs sorted because an infestation has started. I'm in Scotland , city of Edinburgh and will need find out what works as they keep coming back

    I use a Gatorade bottle, put anything thing that smell's good to me, Tide, Dawn, Downy, add that to the water, then when I see one I put the bottle up to it, they jump in and I put the lid on. One at a time they jump in and I can NOT STAND THEM! So I saw them last year and only a few this year, but I hate them.

      Dish soap recipe is a difficulte mixture, too little won t do anything to pest and too much will damage your plant folliage.
      In my area only a very dry season will get rid of a critical pest outbreak.

      Sheeewwww!! Are you "hard of smelling"?! Do you remember that episode of "Seinfeld" where Jerry's car had B.O. from the valet that parked it and Jerry asked Elaine if she smelled something.....to which she replied.... "What am I, hard of smelling?" Pretty funny but...........my sister used to say she didn't smell the stink bug. I finally pissed one off enough to make it smell. To this day she'll tell you how bad they smell! Maybe you haven't agitated one enough yet? :) :)
