stink bugs
I live in western pennsylvania, am 85 yrs young. Unfortunately I am paranoid when it comes to insects of any kind. This year our area has become a favorite place for the stinkbug. There are infestations in people's homes, mine is no exception. They are everywhere. If there is anyone on this earth who can enlighten us as to how they can be run out of here, especially out of our bedrooms, please, please help! No one I know has heard of how to get rid of them in our homes. I can no longer get a good night's sleep for fear of them. HELP !!!
