We are infested. This is the first year we've had stinkbugs, but now the ladybeetles don't seem so bad after dealing with the stinkbugs, and the flys are just a pest, but what can I do to safely get rid of these uninvited houseguests?

I vacumn almost every day, but each day the ladybeetles are still crawling my windows and the stinkbugs are ending up on my food table or in my clothing. They totally freak me out. Nothing like smelling them first, then finding them between my tee shirt and my sweat shirt.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I know it won't do you a lot of good immediately but I think the most important thing is to find the source of entry. Go outside with a tube of caulk and fill all the holes and cracks you see in your house...along your windows, in your foundation, in the brick, etc. I've herad spraying vinegar works too as a pesticide but I'm not real sure how effective it is. It never hurts to try though and just spray it along your doors and baseboards!
