Stink bugs
Good Gawd you all… what are they good for… Absolutely nothing …. Say it again
No seriously go back to the top and say it again only this time like Edwin Starr did in his song War... yeah there you go. You only have to do it once then you can keep reading.
Moving on, WTF… no seriously WTF, why do these wee nasty little beasties exist. They don’t do anything except smell bad and look ugly.
They don’t eat other bugs. Birds, don’t even like to eat them and birds are just rats with wings. Unless they are an aquatic bird or in the raptor class. (Ravens, Crows, Owl Hawks, Eagle, Falcons, et al)
Back to the stink bugs did you know they are not entirely innocuous … nope they can bite. Yup it’s a fact. They has the teef and will bite you. Google it if you don’t believe me. I’ll wait.
Yeah see. I know right.
They can also cause temporary loss of vision if they mist you in the eyes. Mainly because it burns your eyes and you can’t open them hence you can not see. It is still a fact too or fact two if you prefer.
Not so harmless at all now are they
They are also ugly. That’s a fact as well. Although most bugs are really rather low on the attractiveness scale, but they can’t even play off the ugly with a cool factor. Like Tarantulas they are ugly but they are kinda cool… not as cool as a Praying Mantis or Black Widow spider but still Tarantulas have some definite cool points. Flutter bys are not bugs they are flutter bys and moths get a pass because they are fake flutter bys but not as many cool points a the flutter bys.
Stink bugs have no cool points at all. In fact they would need a bunch just to get out of the negative cool arena.
Stink bugs will drown though so that’s a plus. However if they drown in your coffee it’s not a good thing. That’s a fact in addition to the other stuff.
I’m not saying how I know this fact but if you were to say maybe have a sip of coffee that had a drown stink bug in it you wouldn’t like it not even a tiny little bit.
Microwave ovens kill them too.
Did I mention stink bugs are not so smart? Well they aren’t, they will get in a microwave too. But they can’t read but they aren’t really inviting like oh hey come hang out in this metal box.
The microwave doesn’t give them super powers it kills them but not before the make the smell
The good thing is that it only lasts about a minute
Well that was as long as it took me to get to the microwave to clean it with better smelling stuff.
I dare any person out there to tell me one good thing about a stink bug. I double dare you. However, if it isn’t a really good reason and legit one, any member of the invisible army may to slap you in public with no other provocation one time and you can not defend yourself.
Tips
They do really drown so scoop them up and toss ‘em in the toilet they don’t swim. But don’t squish ’em they will smell bad on your hands. Yup it’s kinda gross.
Clean your window seals with bleach and water and let it soak a bit. I use I part bleach to ten parts water. It will kill a lot of the eggs of not just the stink bugs but all the other wee nasty beasties that laid their hundreds of nasty little bug eggs in your windows. That’s why on really sunny days in winter you get bugs in your house.
Three don’t waste money bombing your house it won’t kill them
Fire kills them too but burning your house down is really rather counter productive but only slightly if you have enough of the little pests.
In other news…
I need to play real, not real a little more and not listen to my demons… No bad demons … shut up … I’m telling mom… I know she doesn’t like me … stop it… I’ll do something... yes I will… yes huh….
I have to go kill the demons so that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
