Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the garden, our worst fears have been confirmed. Stinkbugs are predicted to return with a vengeance by early to mid August. Apparently, the adults from earlier this year laid their eggs, died… and now, those timebombs they left behind are starting their slow release of newly hatched stinkbug nymphs. They have been sighted gorging on blackberries, just barely into the adolescent-sized soldier mode… and many more are coming.
Enjoy the respite, fellow warriors – and batten down the hatches. Stinkbugs will be back in full force before we know it. PREPARE YOURSELVES!
