OH. MY. GAWD! What can I do???? Can't we sink the boats????? Hold our noses? How about realizing Global warming is to blame?
Wait a minute... Stinks bugs never have bothered me and don't eat up my garden or anything, So, I guess I should just kill myself or some stinkbugs or something....
Tell you what, I promise to capture every stinkbug I see this summer and mail them to the PRESIDENT! He will know what to do with them!
LOL...on a serious note...does anyone know of a more natural way besides pesticides to get these insects out of my garden?
