Stinkbugs

Well I've just learnt something,you could try vacuuming them up with a hand held vacuum,is that how you spell vacuuming ? I dunno...

 

My friend gets dozens of them in her condo. SO GROSS!

About a week or so ago, I was at work and there was this buzzing sound, I couldn't figure out what it was until I looked up and saw a bug stuck in the light fixture above my desk. The bug kept flying and landing on the florescent bulb and then falling on gate thingy that prevents the bulbs from wacking someone in the head should one of them fall out because the bulb was too hot to sit on (stupid bug :-D). Of course I called over my male co-worker to promptly kill it, because I don't do bugs. We figured out in time thankfully that it was a stinkbug and that not to kill but to catch it. He caught it and then took it over to the dumpster far away and smushed it. Stay outta my office you ugly bug :-D

 

Yeah, we get Stanky Bugs down-under, too. I do the "Please walk on this paper" trick, as well.

Then there's the Giant Stinko Bugs!....http://www.yolu.com/videos/1511/giant-stink-bug.html

 

In my friends condo, they all like to congregate on the glass sliding door to the balcony, there are no cracks or anything so she can't figure out how they get in. Guys just don't understand when it comes to us and bugs.. we scream and they just roll their eyes. :-D

That is one huge ugly bug!! If they are anything like their smaller counterparts they ARE just as stupid.

 

We understand perfectly,your fear of bugs is illogical and irrational that's why we laugh and catch them to hold in front of your face :-D

 

No, when they like us they hit us and throw things at us.:-D

 

Trust women to turn a bug thread into a dating thread;

"I have a bug problem I need to solve."

"So what guy do you go for the guy who protects you from the bug or the guy who holds it in your face?"

"Forget the bugs,I'll put on bridget Joneses diary and we'll discuss it over chocolate ice cream with sprinkles!"

:-D

I'm neither of those guys BTW,I'm the guy that eats the bug for a bet so you girls throw up in your mouths. Muhahhaha....

 

Maybe this is why you don't have a girlfriend LOL

Lol, we have them also. Have not seen one in a long time though. I don't know Rikky, those things smell horrible, they must taste horrid. :yum

 

Geez Diamond why you so OBSESSED with why I've not got a girlfriend:confused

I'm sorry I'm just not interested,but I'm flattered that you stay awake thinking about me at night

:-D

 

i have been bitten by one once. it hurts. it itches......its not pleasant

 

Rarely have a run in with a stink bug in side a house. Usually once or twice a year Ive seen them. Mostly outside tho. I see them on the cement area and Id step on them. :-D

 

Hmm... now you got me curious...:confused

I don't think we have those creatures in Canada...I could be wrong.
We do have a problem with woodlice. When you squish them they smell like vinegar.

I guess bugs are part of everyday living even the human kinds :-D

Shelagh

 

I had a monster centipede run across my office floor the other day! When I first saw it, I thought it was a scorpion, but there are no scorpions in this part of the country. It got away before I could get it.

The next day, I saw it again and stepped on it. It carried me for 3 feet before throwing me off. Looked like it had a dead rat in its pincers! Time to get the 12 gauge out.:-D:-D:-D

 

Yikes, and my 12 guage is broken!! Hope the AR-15 will work until the parts from Big Green show up.. :guns

 

lol we have some around here not to many.

I have been experiencing a ladybug invasion at my house lately. Went up to my room last night and literally had well over 500 ladybugs covering my walls and window. They don't stink but they freakin multiply like you wouldn't believe. Unfortunately I was forced to commit unspeakable acts of murder by vacuuming all the lil buggers up :cool

 

haha Rikky your awesome man!! I drunkenly ate one of those huge lunar moths for 10 bucks last Summer The huge sacs are wicked nasty trust me on this guys.

 

That is probably the Asian beetle or ladybug.

And they do have an odor, takes quite a few to notice though.

And they bite, a little nip.

Our genius Dept of Ag introduced them to control aphids on soybean crops. That didn't work to well and now we are stuck with the bugs.

We should put them all on a boat and ship them back to Japan! :wave:wave

 

This is the ones I'm familiar with. poised and ready to spray, yuk

 

lol Rikky is always good to spin a thread around Bugs = good source of protein!!

 

to bad you couldn't collect them and sell them. We/Dan has to buy them every year seems like. The eat aphids and other thing smaller then them, which doesn't leave much :-D

Ewww, is the smell :-D unmistakable musky odor

 

oh geez you can sell em. I could've made bank!

 

I believe they're for sale on ebay as well as nurseries

 

roflmao you never know

 

A couple of summers back ate a slug just for bet,no cash,someone just bet me I wouldn't eat it after a few beers,I'm like Marty Mcfly in Back to the future when someone calls him chicken :-D

I did kinda wimp it because I didn't chew and pop it I just swallowed it whole,I was fine but if I recall a couple of GUYS started heaving and one spewed a bit even though I ate was the one eating it :-D

 

confused:confused

I know of some butterflys and larger beetles, but ladybugs??

 

slugs seem like they would go down fairly smooth haha I had to crunch the moth once in my mouth then I chased it with a beer :-D

 

I thought that's what the girls do to guys they like! :confused

We have stinkbugs in Indiana, but I've never had a problem with them - we don't often see them, to be honest.

I stepped on one, once, to see what it smelled like, and didn't detect an odor at all . . . I was outside though, so that might have something to do with it. That, and my sense of smell isn't very sensitive. Fresh skunk spray doesn't seem that bad to me, for example - I mean, it's not nice but It's easily bearable.

Boiled cabbage, now, reeks to high heaven.

 

Three pages on a stink bug thread??confused

My God, you people, GET A LIFE!!
:-D:-D:-D
(So what am I doing here?)
:wave:wave:wave

 

well part of it was about what guys do when they like girls then the guys turned it into a bug eating thread. so it isnt 3 whole pages on stinkbugs :-D

 

Oh man, you should see what we get. I was told they're water bugs, bull, giant roaches more like it. First time I saw one it was hard to smack it being it was so big it was more like a small animal. I think I poisoned us last year trying to keep them away. I never use insectcides, was that or a whip and a chair. (UGH!!! shiver)
This photo doesn't do it justice, so big, some dark.

 

Damn, in my last house I rented, the store room roof leaked. I dropped a bug bomb in it, (shivers) they poured out of it most were dying. My skin crawls when I think about that.

Best thing for those things, Bengal Roach Spray. I swear by it. http://www.bengal.com/roach.htm

@ Brandypeppy, you know this will become a 10 page or more thread now. :-D

 

Roaches are the original virus. I hate them almost as much as wasps. :guns:guns

 

The only time I've ever seen anything like this was in San Diego in the 60's they gathered around street lights poles.

I used some spray, Home Defense. One of my daughters said it was orderless. I sprayed outside and in. Dan and I were sick, thought it was flu. The doctor asked me if I had been around any poison, I had forgot said no. Lucky I didn't kill us. Think I'll stick to a shoe. Thanks anyway Fred.

 

At the apartment we get what I found to be house cenepedes http://meanderthal.typepad.com/dope/images/2007/08/26/house_centipede_2.jpg Could get worst picture but I just got something less graphic lol. But in this apartment they hang on the screens that are covering the windows(up in a brick apt on 4th floor) Also just found one in tub 2 nights ago 3 inches long or so.. But there quick as heck and we keep getting more.

 

now them are nasty lookin things..
