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?
