This evening I saw a Brown Stink Bug eating on my tomatoes. How do I get rid of it and any others that may be lurking on my plants??? Remember Organic Only, I eat this stuff.

Any idea whether your fish will eat them? I've read where they are attracted to light, just thinking you may be able to get them falling into your tank for extra fish food. I've not had to deal with these but I've seen where people tried lots of things but never had total success. Hand picking and dumping into water with a few drops of dish soap to kill them, controlling weeds around the garden, and trap crops are some things that help.

Thanks Scotty435.
I'll try the pluck and drop. Will also stay on the husband about keeping it mowed....
