Not sure if what I have done has helped or if it is the time of year that they start to diminish.
Based on what I am seeing (I have gotten a little lazy with the spraying lately) is that their numbers definitely have not diminished.

I'm seeing boatloads of the little buggers, so stick to your program if you're getting decent results with it.

They are doing quite a bit of damage to my peppers, and I will probably spray here in an hour or so, when the thermometer shows low 80's.

And I will especially target the millet in the front yard -- I can barely see the plumes for all the stinkbugs on them.
