RESCUE!® offers both outdoor and indoor solution for stink bugs
RESCUE!® offers both outdoor and indoor solution for stink bugs"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Stephanie Cates
Director of Marketing and Communications
Mobile: (509) 710-5108
Office: (509) 343-3621
Twitter: @rescueSPOKANE, WA, May 10, 2011 – In addition to its forthcoming outdoor Stink Bug Trap, RESCUE!® is unveiling an indoor solution for stink bugs today at the 2011 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas.
Available in July 2011, the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap works outdoors to intercept adult stink bugs before they enter homes, as well as the younger generations that damage gardens and fruit trees. The trap lures multiple species of pest stink bugs with pheromone attractants that are odor-free to humans.
The reusable trap comes with a 2-week attractant supply and has a suggested retail price of $19.99. A 7-week attractant refill will be sold separately for around $9.99 retail.
When stink bugs venture inside homes to hibernate as summer turns to fall, RESCUE!® has trap for that as well. With a light accessory that retails around $17.99, the same RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap can be used indoors. The blue LED light attachment plugs into a wall outlet and illuminates the trap to draw stink bugs when they are active inside the home.
Once stink bugs are trapped either outdoors or indoors, they dehydrate inside the trap chamber for easy, odor-free disposal and reuse.
The stink bug has been called a “terrorist bug”; its spread deemed a “national crisis”. It has received major media attention since September 2010 when its populations exploded in the U.S.. RESCUE!® is the first established lawn & garden product manufacturer to offer an answer to the growing problem.

Have you seen them in your house yet? THEY ARE BACK
Spring is here, flowers, warm weather and Good old Mr #Sinkbugs.I am curious to know how far have they reached, I only recall seeing them in Maryland like 3 years ago, but every year they increase.........
Last year I tried this in my front steps, I had installed the yellow insect lights and I sprayed Home Defense Max Ready-To-Use Liquid insecticide and every morning, for like three week I would collect a Jar full of the bugs, all ages and sizes and some other insect. Home Defense is sage inside, But I have not tried that.
I am not sure if the insecticide even had anything to do with it:-) Any Idea.
