From the reports all over the different forums is Raid Fumigator bug bombs. It has the right chemical that will kill them on the first try.

Yes, but not while you or any pets are inside. Air out after returning.

Successful use of a fogger does not rid the RV of Stinkers. They do die. But the majority remain in the walls and other havens they had found.
If you look in secluded places, they will be there!
A neighbor had a failed A/C and the mobil RV tech found the innards of the motor so stuffed with dead stinkers it would not turn! So he had to disassemble it.
I prefer to leave before the temps drop to the level where Stinkers love my RV.

So that is where they came from!! We thought it was SC!! We have been shooing them out windows and doors for the past 9 months relocating them to Michigan/TN/KT/NC/SC/Florida and back. In the 30 knot gusts this past weekend in Polk City it was especially gratiating to snap one out the door and watch him make an immediate hard 90 as he dissappeared into the next county.

Our last coach had a lot of them. And we lived in an area that was infested. They live in tight areas, door jambs,fan covers,slideouts,window jambs etc. What worked good for me was use a shop vac and sweep them out of those places. With the few left inside just grab them with a paper towel. Take it outside, squeeze and throwaway.

I sure want to thank all of you that dropped those bugs off in FL. It will add to our wonderful population of all the other bugs from all over the world. That should give the snowbirds something to do besides playing golf and having a good time. By next year when they all multiply I can go into the bug bomb business.

Hey there is another tax revenue FL can levy! An RV stinkbug tax at the border $5 a wheel.

Stinkers cannot live in the AZ desert.
