Stink Bugs Are Back 2009!!!

[Summering]

Ok heres one funny story.........
I get my Christmas tree one year from a lot and it gets chopped down.........Didn't take the usual farm trip.
Put the tree up......put lights on it. Sit back and enjoy its glory.........emmmhummm.
All of a sudden I see a shadow on the ceiling wall. It is a shadow of something creeping in the tree.
It has those "grasshopper" type knees, and it is looking like.......The shadow of........the stink bug!
I unplug the lights and spray the entire tree. It was either that or trudge it down and outside........
I know toxic, not good for my home, and just a poor idea........but........I did it.
Thank goodness, when I sat and gazed at the tree again.......no more shadows of those horrible bugs.
The tree was ready to glow.......
From that time on, I have returned to the tree farms, and had the tree shaken before coming home.
Darn experience freeked me out!!!

Summering, that's great! I have a similar Christmas tree story, but I don't want to get too far off the topic of stink bugs. Lets just say it involved millions of baby spiders deciding to hatch when they encountered the holiday warmth of my home....
Still having cold-sweat nightmares about it 4 years later.
