I can spit into Pennsylvania from where I garden here in northern Delaware and i can tell you most definitely we do have stinkbugs!


Stink Bugs and squash bugs feed on all cucurbits, but prefer squash and pumpkins. I no longer grow my summer zukes and that has helped. But I can't do without my cukes so I moved the cukes as far away from my tomatoes that I could and it worked very well. Only a few now settle over on the tomatoes.

Another trick is to place thin boards or shingles around your garden. These pests like to spend the night there. In the early morning spray the bejeebers out of them or whack them with the same board. LOL
