Just Squish Them!

I am sure this topic has come up before. I feel it does need to be repeated.
I am fond of insects since I was a child. I don’t advocate their demise either because they have a purpose.
However the Lantern Fly is particularly invasive. Its ferocious appetite has caused considerable damage to plants and crops.

There are good bugs and bad bugs. My wife doesn't like any of them but I always ignore spiders in the house because they eat the bugs. Since there are good bugs you should know what the bug is before you squish it.

Yes! They are awful. I first saw one in PA several years ago. It looked beautiful, so I asked what it was. The guy who told me didn't know it was so harmful. Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to get rid of invasive species. Kudzu is a perfect example. That's like a sci-fi movie.

But when you squish 'em, you soon realize why they are called "stink bugs"! 😳
The best method we've found is a container of water with a little dish soap, and a long-handled serving spoon. Use the spoon to knock the buggers into the water, and bye-bye buggies!

You are correct. I should have specified that. Thanks for the update

No Such Thing as Cuddly Fire Ants, Black Widows, and Yellow Jackets.
Devils Spawn - and deserve squishing!
I remember once - my grandfather found a yellow jacket nest in his back yard.
He waited until night - when they were all back in the nest.
Put a funnel in the hole, added a quart of gasoline and a match.
Quite Spectacular

Well that is a new turn on insecticide. It is best to wait at night and spray wasp killer. That is how I got rid of the little buggers
The gasoline is dangerous. A little splash in the wrong direction and you could set yourself on fire.

We are not bothered by them but our nemesis are squash bugs and grass hoppers (locust).
