Die, Stinkbugs!!

Here in wonderful WV, we are overwhelmed with stinkbugs. They wait outside windows and doors to come in. Several do make it in. There was one on DS' leg the other day. :-(

They have no known natural predators. Anyone else dealing with these bugs?

    Yes, we are expecting an explosion of them any day.  Last week, they seemed to "wake up" and there were about 14 on one of our window screens looking for a way to come in.  Tonight, we found one squished in the pages of DS's board book.  Ewww.

    The first time I ever encountered them was when we moved to our new home last year.  It was only about a mile from our last place but I had never had one in the house before.  Our house becomes over run.  It is really gross some days.  We think they come in through our fireplace.

    I heard a report this morning that said this is expected to be the worst season for them since they were introduced to the US in 1999.

    I thought that Texas tree roaches were the worst when I lived in Houston.  I would take them any day over stink bugs!

    Yes, last night there was one crawling on the wall in our bedroom and then one on the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.  Blech.

    They get pretty bad here too.

    Yes, we have had them bad the last two years. We actually spent about 4 days and 15 tubes of caulking and completely sealed the outside of the house and inside around all the windows. It seems that is where they were coming in. Outside there are tons all over the house and you have to run fast so they don't jump on you and get inside. Stink bugs have made me slightly insane....
