    I went to fire the stove up last night, I open the door 10 or 15 stink bugs in there, close the door up real quick :hair:
    I had three or four in there last year but whole bunch this time.
    I put some paper in a small cardboard box lit it on fire open the door and threw it in real fast.
    I found three later that got out, what I do is grab them with a piece of toilet paper real fast throw them in the toilet and flush it, no stink.
    Ones in the Stove are ashes now

    Burn those invasive suckers!
    I've been developing a severe prejudice against them!

    If a stink bug has one calorie, then roughly .0039 BTUs per bug.

    Google viper cypermethrin

    Not much you can do about them getting into the stove but at least they're n a good spot to light em up. I hate the damm things and flush them whenever I can't burn them.

    I sprayed viper around the windows and doors this morning. I had good success with it in the past. Amazon has the best price.

    I found a pretty good list of products to keep them out of the house: stinkbugspray.com
