Be sure to check under your fruits and under the leaves and handpick at least twice a day. Also watch for the reddish nymphs – they will grow into adult stinkbugs. You can use some organic pesticide sprays as a last resort such as a citrus oil spray or something with pyrethrin in it though sprays can harm beneficial insects. Most nurseries carry a variety of organic pesticides these days – just be sure to follow the directions on the product. Hope that helps!

My son and I found a bunch of stinkbugs last night on our tomatoes. This is our first garden so I’m learning as I go. What can we use to get rid of them and/or deter them in the first place?
