One word of caution: when you squish these little horrors, the smell they release serves as a beacon to all the other stink bugs to come and feast on your figs. I moved my tomatoes to pots on the deck this year to escape the ravenous deer, but the stinkers devoured them all. Good luck. By the way, they are all looking for a nice cozy place to spend the winter. They don't need to eat or drink all winter, just wait for warm weather to go back outside and start eating/breeding/swarming again.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-90928442777601936322010-08-05T11:31:53.538-04:002010-08-05T11:31:53.538-04:00To war.
