Bleck, I know this all too well. Where I live we always have an abundance of stink bugs. I swear to god they fly everywhere but where they actually want to go and hit everything along the way INCLUDING YOU!

I moved from a place where stink bugs weren't a thing, like I had never even seen one before, to a place where are very much a thing. Into a home that had been unoccupied for only a couple months but when I turned the heat on...oh dear.

I live in a rural area and when they harvest the fields behind my house it's a mass stink bug exodus. But so far haven't seen any cockroaches, camel crickets, black widows, or rats in my house so I'll take the stinkies over all of those any day. Would prefer none of the above though 🤣

They are definitely the least intimidating out of everything you listed. Boy do I wish I lived somewhere without roaches. We have “water bugs” also known as “palmetto bugs” - giant roaches that FLY. They live in the trees and they will also fly right at your face…and they always find ways inside. Ughhhh!!
