What can I do about stink bugs on my crape myrtle?

UGH they are a nightmare to get rid of once you get them. I mixed up some dawn dishsoap and warm water in a spray bottle and sprayed the leaves and that got rid of mine.

There is something known as a Garlic Spray that you can purchase at a garden supply store or home improvement center such as Home Depot or Lowes. You will also need to purchase something to spray it with. Basically mix the Garlic spray with water and spray over the plants about once a month.

To get rid of the stink bugs you can go to your local gardening store. At the store they will sell a spray that you can put on your crape myrtle and around it. The spray will kill the bugs that are there and prevent any more bugs from returning.

Well if there are a lot of bugs you need to spray road or horticultural spray on your plant then it should be okay.

Well basically to get rid of them spray raid all over the surface. Also use ammonium to get rid of the smell.

Garlic spray bought at any gardeb store like Lowes should take care of the problem. You just mix it with water and spray.
