"Saw my first live stink bug of the season here in Northern Virginia. I had just left my brother's house on my motorcycle and he was sitting on my handlebars... just staring at me... while I was going down the road at 60 mph. I reached over…"

"Not necessarily a correlation between the egg clusters you found in the window and the stinkbugs you found in the house. Stinkbugs lay on live leaves as the hatchlings need a food/water source when they hatch. No known egg clusters in houses that we…"

"A true ventless fireplace has no openings to the outside so they are not an issue."

"The flue is the top of the firebox where the damper is located. Usually operated by (on a pre-fab fireplace) some sort of handle on the top of the fireplace that you either turn or slide. This damper is supposed to be closed when not in use to keep…"

"Sandra, try caulking around the edges of the screen you put on the attic vents. Put the caulk right on the screen and to the trim below it."

"The chimney damper-caps are the most effective and safest way to go. You can find them here: http://www.woodlanddirect.com/Chimney/Top-Sealing-Chimney-Dampers/Lock-Top-II-Chimney-Cap-Damper  They replace the damper that is just above the fire…"

"For those of you that sealed up your houses to prevent the SB's from getting in, Check the Fed website at http://energysavers.gov/financial/70010.html for possible tax savings this year, at least on your material expenses."

"I'm assuming it is a masonry wood burning fireplace. This is a bit of a dirty job but, you can get in the fireplace and remove the cast steel damper that is held in place with a cotter pin through the handle. Scrape the soot and buildup from…"

"Might want to take a trip to the paint store or Home Depot/Lowes and get yourself one of the 'throw-away' white painter's coveralls. They are cheap and keep the overspray off you."

"Yes, the swarm is definitely late but, it is here now. We were out working on sealing up a house at the base of the mountains yesterday and the bugs were all over the house and US! BTW: we have been using 1/4"x1/4" screening over bath and…"

"Ditto on that. Hit hard the last two days here in western Loudoun County."

"I think the ratio of .06 is based on the actual persentage of the active ingrediant which, in it's concentrated form( what's in the bottle) is not 100%. The Toxin is Lambda-cuhalothrin at 9.7% so the dilution of that to .06% is, I…"

"We do home improvements, additions amd new home construction. I ventured into the Stink Bug Remediation thing because, having been swarmed by the little beasties myself, there was an obvious need and we've found a system that works. I…"

"Sandra, I think you are looking at the wrong chart. One chart is for field spraying for coverages of 1000 SF or more with a comercial sprayer. The other is for localized spraying with a 3-5 gallon pump sprayer. The later says 0.4-0.6 per gallon.…"
