Don’t Let Stink Bugs Make you a Fool this April Trap them now with the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap. Stink bugs are no joke.

A single female stink bug can lay up to 400 eggs over the course of a summer. Early action to stop them now is critical in controlling stink bugs. Once the babies start to grow, they have ravenous appetites and will eat everything from tomatoes and peppers to apples and peaches. What breaks the lifecycle and stops them from multiplying? The RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap. It uses multiple pheromone attractants to lure and trap stink bugs from up to 30 feet away. www.rescue.com/product/reusable-outdoor-stink-bug-trap
