Excerpts:

"In the process, some people are unwittingly creating another problem: When squashed or irritated, the bugs release the distinctive smell of sweaty feet."

"Lori Rice, 48, runs an organic farm in Middleton, in Frederick County. She finds them indoors and outside. Indoor bugs she traps in "death jars" - pint jars containing soapy water. The soap, she said, dissolves the exoskeleton. Twice a day, she flushes the bugs down the toilet."

The 'stinkbugs' in DC are trying to do something about it. Maybe they'll tax stinkbugs. Report them to Homeland Security as WMD?

"Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, a Republican who represents Maryland's rural 6th District, sent a letter Friday, signed by 15 members of Congress, asking U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson to take immediate action to limit damage caused by Halyomorpha halys."

I'll just ask wikipedia from now on.

 

yeap.. I made this pipe with PVC taped to a soda bottle with some soap.. when the bugs is on the ceiling i slip the pvc over it tapping it, and it falls into the bottle ..

another method we use is the wad of duct tape on a stick, just tap it on the bug then tap it into the toilet... Lol there are still 2 active sticky poles here in the house and I always keep a piece of duct tape loose hanging on the lamp, so I dont need to tear a piece...
