    Do you have a photograph of them Donna? I know stick bugs as stick insects (Carausius morosus) here as they look like twigs and are slow moving. If I could see a picture of the pests you have I may be able to help you out with a solution to getting rid of them from your greenhouse.

    Hi again Donna. Here's a link that you might find useful to try to control your stink bug invasion.

    Fingers crossed you can get rid of these horribly invasive bugs. Let me know how you get on.

    We have stink bugs that get into the house. We haven't been able to pinpoint their entrance yet, but we are suspecting the fireplace since they often show up in the living room. They were very invasive this spring in NJ, and then disappeared, suddenly they are back again. Also, checked out the site...has some good ideas. I hate to spray chemicals around the house though, so I was glad to see the organic options. The site provided a very well-rounded article.

    Yes it was a very good site. I printed out for future use. Thanks again Eileen. They sure are nasty little bugs.
