11 months ago, during the Great Stinkbug Scourge of 2007, I thought I killed all the bastards but have recently realized I have not. My mistake was apparently in crushing them. Once the stink is unleashed, the other bugs scatter delaying their eventual death as I had to wait for them to regroup. So, I devised a new way of killing them: I took pieces of double sided tape, stick one side to the bug and the other side to the inside of a cardboard box I’m using as a garbage can. So I have a row of these bugs stuck with their backs to the box, flailing wildly until they eventually starve/dehydrate and die without unleashing their stench.
Alternatively, I could start raising spiders again. I’m not sure which would be worse.
