1. I gave them your address!
I know what you mean. We can't even eat at our dinner table in the evenings b/c there are so many of them flying about. We vacuum them up daily but more and more come out of the woodwork. We ususally spray them but we just had our windows replaced and haven't painted the trim yet and I don't want to spray the untreated wood.

2. D*mn woman........I wondered how we got so many.....
we use masking tape to kill them.....I found that using the vacuum cleaner it would smell after a while, and would have to change the bag when it was not very full.....but using the masking tape I find it works great, they stick to it, then I squish em in the tape, and move onto the next victim. :evilgrin:

3. Practice Ahimsa and they will not bother you, since you will.

be at peace with your life. They are merely living their lives...as you are.

On the other hand...you could kill the lot of them. You get some bad karma, but a heckuva lot of immediate gratification.

Of course, there is always the chance that you might be reincarnated as a stink bug for your actions.

So many decisions...
