I have a mini garden in my backyard. I can grow herbs (sage, oregano, basil, etc.) with no trouble. I can protect the greens from deer with netting, but that doesn't keep stink bugs out. I've sprayed sufficiently with Neem Oil. That also does not help. Not trying to complain, but I would love to grow squash, cukes and pumpkins like I did before these creatures invaded our land. What have you found that really works?

Have you tried vinegar? I find it is worthwhile for most all pests.

I like to put it in a spray bottle 50/50 with water.
