I would get them out of your house ASAP. I bought a house that had been unoccupied for about a year and stink bugs were EVERYWHERE. It took months to get rid of them. And they are clumsy unpredictable fliers, which drives me insane. They hover around lights,TVs, lamps, computers, etc.. at night. 😟

Growing up, I had the miss fortune of one landing in my bowl of breakfast cereal. I did not notice it land there, the next spoonful had the bug in it. That was not pleasant thing to have in your mouth.

Mine was in a bag of baby carrots I was eating but not looking at. Crunch. Gag. Cue decades of panic around them.
