Windows, Stink Bugs and Walnut shells Oh My!

Ah yeah.....My kid is coming home from college on Saturday, so it's time to get her room ready. We have a bug problem in our house, these ugly things keep getting in,
and yes they STINK! Stink if you smash them, stink if your move their dead bodies and worst of all stink if you vacuum them up! So opening her windows and dropping down the screens takes some real stomach power. But what did I find this time?? A few dead bugs and this..
Now how in the hell did that get in between the windows?? I'm a wee bit shocked.....very strange indeed!

I now need to drag myself up there again and clean up all the dead stink bugs I found....at least I don't have to drench her windows in Raid, yet.

More strange house stories to come.......we have a very interesting house..."things" start happening when my husband starts to remodel...apparently we upset the former owners;) Hubby will start to tear out our dinning room this weekend:)

I always wondered what they were.

Good luck with those critters. I haven't a clue how to get rid of them without the stink.

Only thing we ever did was vacume them up and dump them outside. Even using the vacume you still get the smell. (Buy a SECOND hand held vacume just for this!) They do make some pesticides to get rid of them but don't think they really work that well. Good luck!

Yep, they stink and Raid doesn't work well. They must be from the Dino age.

Those bugs REALLY stink. It's amazing the smell that they produce - it'll make you gag.

Question.... the cupcake on your side bar, did you bake it? It is really cool.

I don't think we have stink bugs here... my dogs are bad enough! I on the other hand started to see ants yesterday...crappo it must be spring... the season of complusive kitchen duty. I HATE ants they give me the willies. But at least I can vacuum them? I will have to try that!
I hope the shell doesn't mean you have squirrels in her room.....I don't think you can vacuuum them up either.

Gotcha. I LIKE the cupcake. And I am not for gay rights. I'm not for hetero rights either. I just think what happens in the bedroom shouldn't NEED rights. Um... you know, just HUMAN rights. We should all have the right to be who we are and Ess Ee Ex shouldn't define who we are. I'm Jen whether I'm gettin' any or not or with whom I am or am not gettin' it with. But I am not knocking you AT ALL for being a Gay Rights Activist.

Hey! And guess what? I am a JESUS lovin' lady and Your rainbow cupcake doesn't scare me a bit! LOL!

Have a great weekend!
