Do You Smell That? - yup Stinkbugs!


It's already August 10th and if you're like me, you're fixated on knowing that football season and cooler weather is just around the corner.

But right now is also the time to be proactive and be thinking about stinkbugs. That's right, those nasty, pesky, smelly stinkbugs. In a few weeks, they are most likely going to be seen in swarms - looking to find warm shelter in your houses and garages for the winter.

I wanted to share a couple links that provide some good overall information on the stinkbugs as well as some control options. Just like most everything else in life, prevention is the key to success with the stinkbugs.
