Alan Haigh The Home Orchard Co. Carmel NY
Here in southeastern NY stinkbugs were unusually devestating to Asian pears and damaging to other pears and peaches this year.  I can control my other pests by sprays within 2 weeks of pedal fall but the stink bugs cause their damage all summer.  I really would like to get some control without further application of restricted pesticide.  I had some sabadilla dust sitting around so I tried that and it did seem to work OK but I can't seem to find any more of that.  I know these pests hang out in broadleaf weeds and hedgerows but there's not much I'm going to do about that.  Any suggestions?
