Depending on where you live, I live in north east US, you are familiar with the dreaded stink bug. They have that name for a very good reason, THEY STINK!
This would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous. I came home to find a swarm of stink bugs on the back side of my house and the pouch area. So, I grabbed the bug spray and started spraying them (I swear they were laughing at me). At some point I realized I was breathing in way too much fumes and had to leave the area to breath in some fresh air. As I was sitting in my back yard, taking in deep breaths the answer came to me.
What do you do when you catch a stink bug in your house? You get a tissue, fold it in half (hoping to keep the stink off your fingers) grab that sucker and flush it down the toilet. So I took this principle and applied it on a mass scale.
Step:
- 1. Get a wet vac (anything over 1 or 2 gallons should work)
- 2. Fill the wet vac with about 1/3 of water (the toilet part)
- 3. Get yourself a 50 foot or larger extension cord
- 4. Plug the wet vac in and start sucking up all those stink bugs
- 5. Repeat every 15 minutes until they are gone or it’s time for bed, which ever comes first
An environmentally friendly and healthier solution to this problem.
GOOD LUCK!
