I swear I’m going to burn my car if I see another stink bug

If it's there you would spray from the outside between the cab and the bed. They are near either side. This post has some pics that show them: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/18-tacoma-audio-upgrade.586197/#post-19542783

Edit - Spraying that outside in the PNW, I would do it more often than once a week. Probably a couple times a week. At least once I'd take the back off and throw some catnip in there.

 

Oh hellllllll no. I would have crashed 100% if that was on my steering wheel

 

Isnt it Coloradotj who hates spiders?

I wonder if this will get locked up if he see it...

 

No. Its @chris4x4 that no likes spiders.

 

No problems here but I have seen bugs like spiders cockroachs in cars I worked on. Once a lady with a corolla came in and said she will pay to have someone look for her sons pet trantuala and it was my job and I told my. Boss you can fire cause there is no way in hell I'm going near that car lol. Another tech found it under the passenger front seat.

 

Do not come to Hawaii. Cockroaches will get into your car no matter what.

You cant exclude them. It will be a waste of your time. There is a larval stage between egg and the adult form (which is what you are seeing). If they were hatching in your truck there would be a literal swarm of alien looking insects running everywhere (the larval stage). They will squeeze through any crack and crevice and unfortunately you dont drive an airplane, so they will find a way in if that's what they want to do. Consider a Tesla, I hear they are air tight! If they want to, they will get in. You can seal up as much as you want to but it's only going to damage the vehicle and you won't have the results you are looking for.

Apparently they are talking of introducing some bonzai ninja wasp or something like that. They say that the wasps eat the stink bug eggs. That kind of stink bug is invasive from Korea.

 

I have the same problem every spring since I bought the truck used 5 years ago

 

WTF? Wasps are way worse than stink bugs! Why the hell would they add one more pest to our society? I hate hate hate wasps.

 

Just be thankful it wasn't one of these. Flew up on my wheel, almost shit. They're like 3-4 inches long to

Nope. I’d be out just like you. F that.

 

I couldn't stand to be in that truck if one of those stink bugs sprayed that stinking odor they spray . I read that they can spray 3 to 4 inches of the fowl awful stuff . Might have to trade it in .
