We have been getting stink bugs for the past few years and each year is worse than the next. They say that in 2013 there will be 60% more stink bugs than there were in 2012!!!
Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust 1% will treat for stink bugs as a combination with an insecticide like Demon Wp. We have actually put together a very effective Stink Bug Kit.
The Stink Bug Kit contains a combination of professional products to protect your home from stink bugs (including the brown marmorated stink bug). This kit includes Demon WP insecticide with Cypermethrin, Eco PCO D-X dust with natural pyrethrins, and a hand duster for easy application. Demon WP must be mixed with water before application and requires a 1 or 2 gallon hand pump sprayer to apply. Demon WP should be sprayed around the outside of the home to create a protective barrier to keep bugs from getting inside. Spray 3 feet up the side of the house and 2 feet out, all the way around the home. Also spray around window frames, window sills, door frames, any cracks and crevices around foundation or where caulking around windows and doors has opened up, around vents leading inside, and around lights (these bugs are attracted to the light from windows, doors, etc). For indoors, spray Demon right along the bottom of door frames and use Eco PCO D-X Dust to dust in walls voids, and in cracks and crevices (such as under baseboards) where bugs may be hiding or harboring. The Eco PCO D-X Dust should be applied only every 4 months. Check attics and crawl spaces as the bugs may be hiding and breeding in those areas as well. A monthly re-application is necessary for best results.
