I do not profess to be any kind of an expert, but one of my favorite shade plants is heuchera, or coral bells. They take shade, and tolerate dry conditions a bit better than the average plant. Try one or two of those…they have very nice foliage, and …

All traps do is lure more JBs to your yard. If you want to do that and then spray the heck out of them, you will do you neighbors a favor.

The Bayer spray works well, but for major infestations (the JBs down here can defoliate a tree in one day) you need WMDs in the form of Sevin. Just mix some in a water bottle and have at it!

Treating your lawn in August will kill many of the grubs that the active JBS are making right now.

This is no time for restraint!

We roaches just eat the little buggers. Then if any are left (burrrrp), camojack’s suggestion is rather compelling. Another thought…place the pheromone lures in a neighbors yard.

http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2001.html.

“Option 1: Cultural Control – Hand Picking

By noticing when the first adults arrive on a property, you can pick off and destroy these scouts that attract additional pests. The adults are less active in the early morning or late evening. They can be destroyed by dropping into a container of soapy water.

Option 2: Cultural Control – Plant Non Attractive Plants

The adults do not like to feed on ageratum, arborvitae, ash, baby’s breath, garden balsam, begonia, bleeding heart, boxwood, buttercups, caladium, carnations, Chinese lantern plant, cockscomb, columbine, coralbells, coralberry, coreopsis, cornflower, daisies, dogwood (flowering), dusty-miller, euonymus, false cypresses, firs, forget-me-not, forsythia, foxglove, hemlock, hollies, hydrangeas, junipers, kale (ornamental), lilacs, lilies, magnolias, maple (red or silver only), mulberry, nasturtium, oaks (red and white only), pines, poppies, snapdragon, snowberry, speedwell, sweet pea, sweet-William, tuliptree, violets and pansy, or yews (taxus).”

It’s worthy of note that they too put spraying insecticide down as the last option.

This neo-necon perpetrated genocide must end!

Seriously though, Ive read some of the remedies provided by others so far and am not sure thats the way to go. In the movie “Starship Troopers”, the brave and resourcefully humans defeated the earth from a hostile insect invasion by capturing and subjugating the ruling master beetle. You must also seek out and capture the beetle thats running the invasion in your garden. Make it fear you.

Thats how it worked in the movie anyway.

Sunflowers to vegetable gardens, odoriferous stink bugs love -em all.

When I catch up to the critters, I name each of my victims after a detested MSM newsperson and greatly enjoy mashing them.
