I f'ing HATE stink bugs...
Stopped by my parents for dinner tonight and they are everywhere in the house... About the only thing that kills them is pouring some Dawn direct foam spray on them and watching them skirm. I must have killed 20 of them while I was there, and the parents exterminator says there's nothing they can do about them... They stink!

That's a stink bug?? I see those things all over, never knew they stink. Are you getting your nose right next to them or something?

Amen on the hating! I have a fun way of killing them in the garage. I load 'em up with hand sanitizer, and light them on fire. I was NOT one of those kids that tortured small critters either - this is a WAR damnit! These fcukers are everywhere! As the weather got colder I started finding them hiding all over, like the pockets of my detail bag, car cover, etc... As long as it's warm, they mostly stay in the trees (or the attic), but once it cools off, they start coming out of the wood works.

Luckily I can't smell them at all. I just pick em up, and throw them out the door against the wall.
The wife hates it, cause they make a stink.

Pick them up with a tissue and then flush them down the toilet. Just be careful not to squish them. The stink smell attracts more of them...
