STINK BUGS!!!!!!!

9 years ago

Does anyone know how to get rid of stink bugs in the garden. Every year I have a problem with them especially with my tomatoes. The stink bugs feed on the unrippened tomatoes causing them to never ripped. So I throw out more than I eat. I've tried EVERYTHING and I don't want to use chemicals.

I've been very pleased with Surround® WP, applied early in the season as a crop protectant. Read and follow the directions carefully.

I've been using it for years now on my veggies and have far fewer issues with many kinds of pests, plus it has increased the quality of tomatoes and others in the worst of the hot Alabama summers.

Surround doesn't get rid of these pests, but will prevent them from feeding and laying their eggs. That's what you want, right?
