Bugs are attracted to bright colors and scents. When gardening avoid that. Invest in Bug-B-Gone. Easy to use, attach to garden hose and waters plants, grass and bushes as usual.

There is a lot more of those bugs in our area this year. Don't know what they are called but I don't like em.

Stink bugs are bigger and look a little like a shield...in PA last year we had a bumper crop of them. So far this year has been better.
