Last year we had terrible problems with stinkbugs on our pinkeye purple hull
peas.  The local co-op recommended Thionex 3EC (I have a restricted
pesticide license).  It kinda worked, but its nasty stuff – we’re trying
hard to stay away from anything stronger than Sevin or BT this year.  Anyone
have any advice on what to use?  The Southeast vegetable crop handbook
(great resource, btw -  http://www.aces.edu/dept/com_veg/)  recommends
herbicidal oil.  I also thought about using some Neem derivative (Any good
(i.e. cheap) sources for those?).
