Stink Bugs

Hello all,
In Laws spent some time out east this past fall, finger lakes region. While on that trip they have been fighting skink bugs in there coach, We just got our 2017 2906ws and I'm wondering if there is any way of preventing a sting bug infestation. Any one else having issues with these lovely critters and what have you done to kill them.
Thank you

Look at your unit underneath near any ground contact points, locate and seal any holes you find be sure not to bind any moving parts for the slide outs.

If you see them outside or inside there are several home made solutions you can mix up and use.

For example.

Supplies:

Spray bottle
2 cups hot water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup dish soap

Directions:


First, pour 2 cups of hot water in the spray bottle. Then add 1 cup of vinegar, followed by 1/2 cup of dish soap. Combining the ingredients in that order will help you avoid suds. After everything is in your bottle, put the nozzle on and give the concoction a gentle swirl to mix it up.

Spraying them directly will kill them in a short amount of time. All of the ingredients are regularly used for cleaning, so you won’t get your house dirty in the process. You may have some drying to do following the extermination, but it’s a relatively hassle-free process.

Let’s get rid of some stink bugs!
