at least for the night.
So far today I have killed 124 Asian Beetles and 2 Stink Bugs.
Scalded them to death.
I've been to all 50 States but my RV hasn't.

Not sure about asian but I used one of these for stink bug in a rental and it was very effective.

In our case of stick bugs and box elder bugs a vacuum would be a band aid approach as we didn't have just a few.... we had millions of them coming in like a blizzard in the fall. It's a literal bug storm, like snow.

I finally invested in a bug bazooka fogger that makes a cloud of spray the size of the house. Blasted them 3 times during the bug storm, we finally won the battle. It so wonderful to finally be rid of them for two years now.

I use Ortho Home Defense get it at Home despot, not to kill but to create areas where I do not want ants, spiders or other bugs, I call that area denial arround the cats food, windows, doors or patio, I spray the area where I feed the cat let it dry and then replace the cat's food dishes, or the patio and furniture does not smell.

Shop vac for the win. Quick and easy, and no nasty residues left behind.

If you really have the urge to spray something on them, use bug soap. It's harmless to pets and humans, and it kills them dead.

I am still looking for an effective over time pesticide that's not toxic to Alex the furry one (Cat) and I. I have found some that are "Pet/child" friendly but they are short acting (Work too) (Get 'em at places like HOme Depot ECO ) but none that work long term..

The active ingredents are 2.. one is Cinnamon oil.. So in my Bedroom after I swept up I disted the cinnamon colored carpet with the real deal.. Seems to be working as I've not seen them in that room since.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Use the vacuum, then bug spray into the hose. Our problem was ladybugs. About a dozen vacuum bags full. And still find a few dead(we hope) around two years later.

We've been invaded by both - used the vacuum cleaner/shop vac. They don't all die, so empty any filter outside.
This year it was Argentine ants - thousands of them. That vacuum came in handy again!

3 stink bugs here! In one of the campgrounds, I got a platoon of those itty bitty black ants. And, sometwhere in TN or NC, the stink bugs started.

I have never dealt with stink bugs before, been rving since 1992. First time.
