These bugs stink


I have an absolute shitload of stink bugs on the lemon tree . Why? And what's the best way to not have them?

    Get a spray bottle, fill with water then add a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid. Spray the bus liberally. Repeat every day as the numbers decline.

    Once you’ve taken out most of them, follows up weekly to keep their numbers down.

    Kill them before they get darker in colour and start flying. They will suck new growth dry which will die back.

    I squash them or if i cant reach a squirt with pyrethrum spray.

    Wear safety goggles if getting amongst them.

    Vacuum cleaner with a long nozzle gets them too.

    Empty into soapy water to dispose. Leave out and the ants or other animals will eat them.
