I thought it was just a regular stink bug, but then I have been catching them eating my ladybugs!! I googled and found that they were an Assassin Bug. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?
I can't think of anything that targets assassin bugs, whatever kills assassin bugs also kills ladybugs. You can hand pick individuals but be sure to wear gloves. Bites from assassin bugs like Masked Hunters, Black Corsairs and Wheel Bugs can be painful. Assassin bugs also kill and eat harmful bugs and caterpillars but a ladybug just looks like another meal. Jerry P.S. You could always dress in black wear a mask, place a dagger in your mouth, hide in the shadows......and wait.
