      Spray can of brake cleaner with straw attached & a lighter, kills the bugs & cooks the tomatoes at the same time.

          I use some kind of ortho vegetable insect killer they have at Lowes. Seems to get rid of em pretty good. I'm not one of those no chemical guys though -- maybe some of the home remedy organic dudes will weigh in with some soluition.

            I'm not above using chemicals to kill these things. I've been using a pair of needle nose to kill them but they always come back.

              I'll look at that stuff this evening and post up what it is -- in the meantime rub on a squash and dance in a circle while chanting something profound -- works for the bugs are your friend people..

                Hopefully all you organic only dudes out there know that I'm kidding -- If you can get something to grow to maturity without using chemicals, more power to ya! I'm just not patient enough.

                    Seaweed or fish emulsion w/ molasses & orange oil will get rid of most pests. It will however, kill some of the smaller beneficial insects. If you spray regularly with Garrett Juice or other similar product (organic), it will eliminate most problems before they start. I've even used Garlic before minced up & sprayed it over plants.

                            The ladybugs were thicker than I have ever seen and to sit out back watching them devour the baby stinks was a sight to see. I didn't realize they were so agressive!



                            .


                            I have 2 okra plants going. I did see about 6 lady bugs in the garden last night. Maybe they will keep the stink bugs gone.

                              NEM OIL could keep them from wanting to get on the plant - and I believe its organic
