😮It took A YEAR last time to get rid of these bugs!!!

Stink bugs are the bane of RVers existence in the fall months.

And we don’t want to squish them so we wrap them in towels and throw them outside. Maybe the same ones are coming back in?!? 😩

❓Anyone have any ideas?

We have found nothing to keep them away other than avoiding the areas they live 😂 we find them for MONTHS after leaving, too!

Are you referring to cucumber bugs?

Dealing with this now! We suck them up with a little hand vacuum when ever we see them. Last year we brought a bunch in from outside when we pulled in our slides. Since then we always check the slides before we pull them in and after. Good luck!

Stink bugs are my nemesis! I hate them, and they freak me out. We have them in our rig also. I capture them in a water bottle with a bit of water and a squirt of dawn dish soap.. When I capture them, I shake it like a snow globe... I show no mercy😂

I am afraid that the dog will eat one!🫣 He always eats the flies.

Do not camp anywhere near agricultural, especially fields corn. And try not to be there during harvesting on corn. Speaking from experience, for the love of God stay away. As soon as you hear the combine crank up .... LEAVE....NOW!! Recently while staying in rural Iowa were surrounded by corn. The field across the road was harvested. Within a day we were invaded. I don't mean 10 or 15 stink bugs, I'm talking 100's and 100's. On travel day I just happened to look on top of a slide that had been pulled in. I was shocked at the number of them that were up there. Just from the top of that one slide I completely filled up a hand held vacuum cleaner. That's been two weeks ago and another state. We've been slowly getting rid of them one by one. Yesterday we only found 8! Progress!!!!

They don’t like Neem oil so we’ve sprayed our RV in it. If we vacuum any up, we empty them into soapy water and then down the toilet. They really like to hide in the underside if they can get in. So spraying there helps too

Get a gatorade bottle or other wide mouth bottle, about two inches of alcohol and water. Put the bottle under them and they fall right in without stinking. Take out any plants so they won’t lay eggs. They only lay eggs on the underside of leaves.
