Try some boric acid powder for those bugs. I use that every year with great success. That also works for ants and other insects.

never used boric acid powder-do you sprinkle it on the plant itself or just on the dirt around it or what? I have some of those pesky bugs too. Yick!

Where do you buy your Boric Acid?

Around here we call them stink bugs. So the boric acid works on them? They are very destructive and hard to kill. I have yet to see any this year but they will show up sooner or later. I used a 12v vacuum that my wife has for her car and powered it from my lawn tractor and just sucked them from my plants last year.
