Yesterday as I was perusing the demo garden outside the office for insects (it’s how I take a break…) when I came across a plethora of stink bugs. \u00a0There were adults. There were nymphs. There were even eggs! \u00a0I took photos and planned on using them for some future endeavor at the time unknown to me when…..\"stink<\/a><\/p>\n

….today seems to be the time for the photos. \u00a0I received an email this morning asking what the bug was that I had discovered in such high numbers yesterday. \u00a0I am assuming that since I’m now getting emails, it means that they are not only in East Austin, but in many other places as well. \u00a0Head out to your gardens and take a look to see if you can find stink bugs!<\/p>\n

The stink bugs I found are in the genus Chlorochroa<\/i>. \u00a0They can be from 8-19 mm (1\/4-3\/4″) and can range in color from green to brown to black. \u00a0Around the edge of the body there is a white to yellow to reddish-orange stripe. \u00a0Nymphs and adults feed on plants.\"immature<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have these critters, you can try one of my favorite ways to manage stink bugs….the vacuum. You don’t want to use your regular, household vacuum, but have one specifically for the garden. \u00a0I find that cordless, hand-held models are quick to grab and easy to use in the garden. \u00a0Don’t buy a top of the line model with a lot of suction as they will also suck up a good bit of your plants. \u00a0Another option is to hand pick and dump the bugs into a bucket of soapy water.\u00a0 If you find eggs, then either pluck off the leaf and throw it away or squish the eggs.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>If you’re not into vacuuming or hand picking, then you can try pesticides with active ingredients such as azadirachtin (neem), pyrethrins, lambda-cyhalothrin, beta-cyfluthrin, or imidacloprid. \u00a0If you have nymphs, you can try using an insecticidal soap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
