Those are Harlequin bugs. I squished at least 500 of them this year. Maybe closer to 1,000.
Spinosad and then hand pick em.

I would trap em on the big fan leaves and squeeze. Leave the carcass on the leaf. Hopefully the carcass would disease all the others.

Found a wild broccoli plant at each end of my yard that was attracting them. Pulled em and I haven't seen many harlequins since.

ah thats why they are. i guess you are both right because the harlequin is a stink bug. but now i know the specifics, appreciate it! well what do you guys recommend? i had been using neem oil since they were small but when they got big it because time consuming. i think that would help only with the possible eggs. im gonna have to check out spinosad too!

So I mixed riptide, spinosad, neem oil, dish soap in a garden sprayer and soaked all the girls when the sun started to go down.

Not cheap.

stinkbugs are a pest here in the ne us. Stinkbug shit looks like round liquid black dots about 1/16" to 1/8" in dia. It hardens and make the trim unusable for solvent extraction. They usually don't shit on the buds, just the leaves. It's vile. If your infestation isn't severe and you have the time, manual control might work. Pick em off into a can of soap water. Heck, use your spray bottle to spray each bug, not the whole plant. If your outdoor, I think they make pheremone traps.

thanks for the response. i will look into the traps. i used a garden sprayer for the 1st time to apply my pesticides- makes foliar applications a breeze. i seem to have it under control as of now
