"Read back through these posts,,,I use  Talstar P and others use Demand,,,both work.  I put it in a small spray bottle and spray around all windows, doors, other places they might come in, as well as outside the house.  It works. …"

"Hmmm,,,we have lots of blue jays, but we also have lots of stink bugs.  I have read that blue birds eat them, too, but wonder if these are just suggestions people are making without actually seeing them eat the bugs. Wish it were that simple!"

"My efforts with Talstar kept the bugs out!  We have not seen any indoors this year!   "

"Thanks,,,good idea!  "

"Does the above info on gas fireplaces pertain to ventless firelogs, too?  "

"That is how they get in our house, too.  I wonder what kind of screen could be used to keep them out.We put two layers of window screen on the end vents of our attic and they crawl in through the edges.  I sprayed the screen, so they die…"

"How do you figure out the amount of chemical using a power washer?,,we might try it next year. I assume you put the chemical in the compartment meant for cleaning solution, right?  "

"and do they spray top to bottom for that price? I have a regular exterminator, but he only sprays 3 feet up and 3 feet out from the house quarterly for about $100,,,this worked well until the stink bugs arrived last year.  "

"I find when I use TalstarP, it kills spiders..does Demand not do this?"
