We have plenty of stinkbugs too. Wish something would eat them.

My garden has been seriously inundated/overrun/destroyed by stink bugs for several years. For clarification I'm talking about the nasty brown one mostly, with a few green ones thrown in the mix. Seriously, they overtook practically everything in the garden. This year - one. I saw ONE and it was sickly and dying. I didn't even have to squarsh him, lol. But now - nothing. Only thing I can think of is all the rain... we've been wet for so long that maybe their eggs literally drowned? Only other thing I can think of is that I planted later this year (what little planting I've done) and maybe they did a fly by earlier in the year and decided that pickin's were too slim.
What do ya'll do to combat them? Only thing that ever worked for me is a physical barrier or hand-picking - ugh.
I feel bad that ya'll are battling them.... but better that they're not here!

I use the wooden block method. It is deadly and it works! Place stink bug on wooden block and SMASH it with another wooden block!

I picked 4 yellow squash today! 
First pickin's outa the garden! It looks like we'll get slammed with yellow squash, that's ok. At least I'll get something from the garden!

Gotta love those yellow squash for sure! I got one the other day - probably be the only one I get because I had to use that part of the garden space to wean some goats. It's one of the few places that isn't underwater...yet.
I'm really wishing I had some of that sandy soil right now!

I picked 3 more today and introduced our 16 month old grand daughter to fried squash. She almost ate a whole squash by herself. She went home with a couple of squash. I am so excited to be getting something from the garden!
