You can kill slime mold with organic fungicides and commercial products like BioSafe Disease Control. However, the following substances will also get rid of slime mold: baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, cornmeal, cornmeal tea, and hydrogen peroxide. Typically, these fungi are cosmetic and rarely harmful to plants, so it’s OK to wait it out. The matter will disappear in a few days to two weeks.

These pros will come out and assess your stink bug problem, as well as your specific treatment needs (such as kid-safe or pet-safe solutions).
