"Is it usable on anything? Ornamentals? Tomato plants?" Bug Juice? Yes, you can still use it. I would add some molasses and a little fresh compost, then stir it really well for a day, and then use it as a soil drench only. Make sure you dilute the juice 10:1 (water: juice) before using it. If you want to use it as a foliar spray I would make a new batch (still dilute it using the same ratio for best results IMO) to insure no burning of leaves or stems. Now is the perfect time to foliar feed your plants, they will respond like never before (and then some). For some reason the hotter it is, the better the results of using bug juice as a spray feed. I have some really huge plants over here now that the "heat is on". As it relates to brewing juice using air bubbles, 24 hours is more than enough time. The warmer the outside temperature, the shorter the brewing time needed. However, brewing for a longer time will still give great results nonetheless. The quality of the compost is the most important factor; older better than fresh, worm compost being primo. For those who are not able to use all the tea that is brewed using bubblers, as long as the microbes have something to eat they will survive a longer brewing time (if need be). I have 2 (two) gallon buckets with lids for holding fruit that need ripening before adding to my bug juice. Keeping the fruit out of sight and smell always works, and it also speeds up the rotting process. I get my buckets and lids from HD; another good source (free) is bakery shops that use a lot of icing (the icing comes in buckets with lids). Get your sprayer out Penny, now is the time "put the juice" to them and watch those veggies grow to the sky Blutranes

I've never seen one with flower stems that long either! When I read the name, I thought, "Hey, wait! I have that one & it doesn't look like THAT!" Then I figured out...mine is erectiLOBA. Nice plant! And BEAUTIFUL snap of the bloom.

Matt, Stink bugs are not known to have many natural predators, which is one reason they are so hard to control. There are some species of stink bugs that are herbivores and eat plants early on, and then turn into carnivores and eat....guess what.....other stink bugs! Other than that, some species of lizards and some bugs eat them sometimes, but their 'stinkiness' gives them protection from most other predators. I don't know that the frogs or snakes ever reach the stink bugs. Our frogs tend to be hanging out around the back yard where we have a lily pond, quite a bit of shade, and 30 tomato plants in containers. The big garden is quite some distance from that and most of it is in sun until mid- to late afternoon. There's usually not many frogs in our hot, dry, sunny garden although we have a resident turtle and, every now and then, a toad and some lizards. The snakes are an issue in and of themselves since we mostly have timber rattlers and copperheads (that's what I've been seeing this week), water moccasins in our ponds and creeks (thankfully they are not in the garden) and an occasional western diamondback rattler. Oh, and rat snakes and chicken snakes that like to get in the chicken coop and eat eggs and chicks. While snakes might be helpful in the garden, I don't want them there. I hate snakes. In my garden, the stink bugs are usually on plants anywhere from waist-high to head high, so while a snake might be able to reach them, the toads and frogs and turtles couldn't. At least here (as far as I know), the stink bugs are primarily garden and agricultural pests. In parts of the country where the winters are colder, they invade homes in the fall, undoubtedly looking for a warm place to overwinter. It is my understanding that stinkbugs inside the house are hard to control, and it is hard to keep them out, because they've been known to come down the chimneys! If I had to make my best guess, I'd give our one-day 11.87" rainfall credit for the lower numbers of stinkbugs and squash bugs (so far) this year. I'd bet that relentless rainfall washed away the overwintering ones that weren't up and about yet. We also have been having greatly reduced numbers of grasshoppers, probably for the same reason. Unfortunately, grasshoppers tend to accompany hot, drought-like weather, so we all may have trouble with them later ths summer. I am seeing a lot of tiny hoppers (1/4" to 1/2") just these last couple of days, so clearly another hatch is on. Here at our house, the guineas and chickens control them pretty well though. Dawn

Uhh, I don't know if I would spray a deodorizer containing moisture into the computer. The odor will eventually go away. If anything, an indoor air cleaner might suck the odor out of the computer. I still think a day or two of fresh air and sunshine would help. Neal, I've seen computers with brown IDE cables that were once light grey. LOL I wear rubber gloves when I work on those "stinky" PCs.
