shield/stink bugs solutions

What a mess these shield-backed creatures are! They like appearing on curtains and windows/sills, coming out of hiding spots (tops of door & window jams and in dark, camouflaging spaces including dark colored folded clothes not put away) when the sun is out and can warm them. While they sunbath, hold a wide-mouthed jar or empty gatorade 20 oz. filled 1/3 way with water and start grabbing them one by one and drop them the jar, for easy disposal down the toilet. Don't hold them in your hand as they may expel an orange dye that will stain your palms for a few days. They eliminate this orange-brown "drip" spots that resemble splattered coffee on painted woodwork & draperies..easily cleaned with soap and water. I understand that Grackles eat them. The key is to get them rounded up late summer/early fall before they go into hibernation and hiding when the weather is in the 50's or colder. Good luck!
