Default Stink Bugs!!!

so i went camping last night up in GWNF and went wheeling all day yesterday and today and very happy to say that the jeep did great with the brand new 33's and didnt break a thing....but i left the windows cracked last night when we went to sleep, i woke up this morning to a jeep full of stink bugs, there were hundreds of them, they were in every crack and crevice possible, took me three hours to get them all out, and im sure there are still more in it, needless to say dont leave your windows down at night in the outdoors, you might have a nice surprise in the morning haha

fortunately they didnt get in there, i turned it on and stood back to make sure haha, they were concentrated mostly on the headliner above the passenger seat

and the window screens would work really well, i should try to fab something up

i found a good repellant, they absolutely hate garlic haha, i mixed some with water and sprayed it around all my doors and the rear hatch, they didnt like that, i just stood back and watched as they all started flying out of the jeep

also i got home today and saw that they were coming in the basement in my house, my mom thought i was crazy spraying garlic everywhere but it works!
