How to get rid of stinkbugs
 
That are on my tangerine tree, have already tried white oil but it doesn't
seem to work.

Buy some liquid Carbryl and mix it to the right strength as per
instructions.

Carbryl is a very effective insecticide, yet very safe to humans and other
animals

I've always used kitchen tongs and a bucket of something to drown them in.
They're sitting ducks, and even if you miss them first time, they usually
fall to the ground where they're still easy pickings. Wear eye
protection...and have fun!

Surgical forceps to pick them off the tree and a tin of turps. Don't forget
to put on your sunnies to protect your eyes if they squirt their acid stuff
though. Very satisfying when you see the little buggers all dead and in the
tin.

Joebee, I believe I have heard on radio gardening programs that pest oil
(maybe white oil, also) is effective in controlling the bronze orange bugs
but ONLY if you begin spraying early in winter when the bugs are starting
to hatch and are at a stage of being too small to even see, AND THEN
maintain a spraying regimen every 2 or 3 weeks through to crop picking.

You do realize that the bugs will fly in from a neighbour's infested tree,
too?

Ended up eradicating them first with white oil and the ones that wern't I
picked off with a pair of tongs and straight into a bucket of water, a
smelly job because as soon as you touch them they release an obnoxious
spray. The Tangerine tree now as I write is finnaly free of them.
