While most of you will have no idea the problem these little stink bugs (the ones that started appearing a year or two ago)can be, others who have encounted them will understand the problem oh too well. The question is how can I keep them out of my GMC? We went last fall on a trip and there were handfuls of them inside the GMC everyday of our trip. Pull out the awning and 50 of them would fly away at a time. If you live in the PA/VA area and have them in/on your house you will know what I mean.
The only solution I have come up with (other than inside storage) would be to cover the GMC with screen sealing it to the ground. Kind of like a big dining fly. Spraying doesn't work.
Just getting starting on this project while there is still snow on the winter cover because once the warmer spring days hit it will be too late.
Thanks, Jim Washburne

Thanks for the link. I am trying to dertermin a way from preventing them from entering as once they are in they are in. They like warm/hot surfaces. My workshop in the woods doesn't have any. My home in the sun is packed. When the sun heats up the side of the house they begin to congregate. I might try getting the GMC parked somewhere in the shade to see if that stops the problem, but a shady spot is hard to come by (too much angle on the property. I might be able to put up a canvas cover or something. Still pondering...
