The shtitnik is an insect that definitely pleases neither the eye nor the sense of smell: it is no coincidence that their common name is the stink bug. Shield bearers harm the garden and vegetable garden, but it is especially unpleasant if they suddenly get into your house. Chemical insecticides will help kill them, but they may not be safe for you, your pets, or the environment. Fortunately, the shield bugs can be eliminated using natural remedies. Here are some tips on how to get rid of stink bugs without resorting to harsh chemicals.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Natural Pesticides

1 Sprinkle diatomite. Scatter this lime powder both inside and out, paying special attention to entrances (windows and doors) and other places where you notice a congestion of bugs.
- Diatomite, or diatomaceous earth, is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock that contains silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and iron oxide.
- This powder is used as a pesticide against various insects, including bug bugs. It destroys the waxy protective layer on the insect's exoskeleton, effectively dehydrating the insect.
- Look for diatomaceous earth that has not been heat treated, as its effectiveness as a pesticide tends to decrease after treatment.
- You can sprinkle the powder on the bugbears themselves when you see them, not just the places where they gather.
2 Make a garlic spray. In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups (500 ml) water with 4 teaspoons of garlic powder. Spray this solution on plant leaves, window sills, and other places where bush bugs often appear.
- Shieldworms do not like the powerful smell of garlic, and they generally stay away from it. This tool does not kill insects, but only drives away.
- You can also chop a few cloves of garlic and spread the pieces around where the bugs hide.
3 Use peppermint to chase away the bug bugs. In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups (500 ml) water with 10 drops of peppermint oil. Spray this solution in places where bug bugs can enter the house and where they usually hide.
- Like garlic, mint only acts as a repellent, meaning a deterrent, not a poison. However, the strong odor is often enough to keep the buzzards away.
- Instead of peppermint oil, you can use 2 teaspoons of crushed mint leaves.
4 Use catnip. Sprinkle catnip powder around your garden and around your home, especially where you often spot bug bugs or where they can easily enter your home.
- Catnip is another remedy that repels shit bugs, but doesn’t kill them.
- Catnip is a herb that can be grown in the garden instead of buying if you have the time and are interested in long-term protection against shield bugs.
5 Spray the bugs with soapy water. Mix 1 L hot water with 3/4 cup (180 ml) mild dish soap. Spray this solution directly on the bunting bugs or the place where they collect.
- The soap kills the buzzards by eroding their outer defenses and causing dehydration.
- Antibacterial soaps can be used, but they contain more chemicals than plain soaps. A mild dish soap is generally considered the safest and most natural option.
6 Use neem oil. In a spray bottle, mix 1 liter of warm water and 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 ml) of neem oil. Apply this solution to leaves, windowsills, and other potential entrances or hiding places.
- You may need to apply neem oil for a week before you notice any changes. Neem oil interferes with the food instinct and the insect mating instinct.As a result, adult bugbugs that are exposed to it stop laying eggs and gradually starve to death.

Method 2 of 3: Physical Destruction

1 Vacuum the bug bugs. Collect the bug bugs using an industrial vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. Remove and discard the bag immediately.
- After you "hunt" for stink bugs, the vacuum cleaner will likely smell foul for several weeks or even months. Therefore, do not use the bagless vacuum cleaner that you use to clean the house.
- Empty the contents of the bag into a large trash bag and tie tightly.
- In addition, you can put an unnecessary short stocking or golf on the tube of the vacuum cleaner. Secure the stocking with an elastic band and tuck it inside the tube. If it is securely fastened and stays in place, the bug bugs will remain in it and will not fall into the filter of the vacuum cleaner. Then remove the stocking, keeping the end closed, and get rid of the trapped pests.
2 Dispose of bugs in a container of soapy water. Fill a bucket (4 liters) 1/4 full with water. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dish soap or liquid soap. Place a bucket under the creepers crawling on the wall or leaves and shake them with a gloved hand into the solution.
- Insects will find it difficult to move in the soap and eventually drown in the water.
- Of all the methods for killing stink bugs, this is the least "odorous" one, since insects die pretty quickly.
3 Use a system to kill insects with electricity. Install it in an attic or other dark place according to the manufacturer's instructions. Turn on the system at night and in the morning sweep or vacuum up dead insects.
- Electric insect killing systems attract buzzards and other insects with bright light. Approaching, the insect receives a shock strong enough to kill it instantly.
4 Use fly tape. Place duct tape along window sills, doorways, cracks, holes, and other places where bug bugs can enter your home. Check the tape every day, throw it away when bugs accumulate on it, and replace it if necessary.
- Since the caught bush bugs will not die immediately, they can spoil the air with their stench.
- If you don't have fly tape, you can use double-sided tape.
5 Catch the Buckworms in an Empty Bottle. Take an empty water bottle and place it with its open neck next to the bush bug.
- Catch a bug or bug bugs with a bottle.
- Screw the cover back on tightly.
- Freeze the bottle of trapped pests in the freezer (preferably where there is no food available). They must die overnight.
- When the bug bugs freeze and die, shake them out in the trash and you can use the bottle again to catch.
- Alternatively, you can put some dishwashing liquid in a bottle and use it to catch as many buckworms as possible. It is easy to catch a pest crawling along a vertical surface: just cover it with the open neck of the bottle. If they come into contact with the detergent, they will suffocate.

Method 3 of 3: Preventing bug bugs from entering your home

1 Get rid of cracks. Seal cracks and crevices in windows and doors with sealant.
- Most of the time, shit bugs enter the home through windows, doors, baseboards, and ceiling lights. Cover the cracks or seal the insulation, and buckskin bugs will get into the room much less often.
2 Place protective screens over the ventilation openings. Use fine mesh to cover hoods, vents, chimneys, and other open areas that connect the outside of your home to the inside.
3 Fill up the holes. Holes larger than 2 cm in diameter must be sealed.
- Moment glue and epoxy should be sufficient to patch small holes in the mesh.
4 Wipe the nets with an antistatic drying cloth. Take a regular anti-static wipe and use it to wipe down your window and door screens daily until the bug is fixed.
- Extra strong odor wipes work better than odorless wipes. They scare off bush bugs by affecting their sense of smell.
- It is likely that this will reduce the number of stink bugs by 80% in a week or two.
5 Collect the bug bugs in the garden on a damp towel. Hang a damp towel on your garden chair at sunset. In the morning, most of the bushbugs will gather on it.
- You can place a towel over a veranda railing, an empty garden planter, a tree limb, or any other surface in your yard. However, if you are using a towel, it is better to hang it vertically rather than horizontally.
- Defeat the bug bugs by quickly dipping a towel with them in a large bucket of soapy water.
6 Defeat some of the bush bugs outside. Crush a few buckskin bugs with an old pair of shoes or a rock.
- Get ready for the stink. After you kill the bush bugs, they will give off a very strong odor.
- After the death of the bush bug, a smell is released. He sends a warning to other insects to leave.
- Only kill shit bugs outside, as there the smell will disappear faster than in the house.
7 Fight weeds. Thin out heavily overgrown areas in the garden.
- As a rule, weeds are attracted to bunting bugs. If you have fewer weeds in your yard or in your flower beds, they will become less attractive to bug bugs. The less they come to your garden, the less they will be in the house.
8 Attract predators that feed on shit bugs. Natural enemies of stink bugs include parasitic flies, wasps, birds, toads, spiders and praying mantises.
- Grow wildflowers and herbs. They attract parasite flies and wasps.
- Attract birds, toads, spiders, and praying mantises by growing perennial grasses and flowers.
- Another enemy of scutellids that destroys their eggs is another species of bugs called predators-crumbs. Sometimes, like praying mantises, they are sold from garden catalogs.
