HELP! We have a bug problem

**sparks19** · 09-30-2008, 12:15 PM

We have stink bugs around here.... TONS of them. they are everywhere. They get into the house somehow and I kill about 6-10 a day. They are driving me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked them up on google and how to get rid of them and the only thing I could find was to use pesticides or get a company to come in and spray pesticides... but we have two dogs and a baby so I'm a little leary of the pesticide idea.

So does anyone know a safer remedy for getting rid of bugs?

Chalk Dust and Coke. It worked at my house

. There are seriously hundreds of them.

Seriously just looking at the screen door there are 10 of them on there... and I have already killed 4 inside today and just spotted another one that I'm going to get right now.

GRRRRRR

Chalk dust around the perimater and coke with a little chalk in a spray bottle. It sticks the bug together and the dust suffocates them.

how does that work... do you use a spray bottle and spray the bugs or do you use it to make a perimeter?

They are flying bugs too

AND I sprayed one with raid... soaked it and it didn't die
