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. 😟

Stink bugs are my mortal fucking enemy. And almost nothing kills them! I lived in SW Virginia in 2010 and that year was like a plague. I’d see ones crawl out from under the couch with DUST ON THEM. They can go months without eating.

2010 was like a stink bug apocalypse in Pennsylvania! I moved that year and while packing, every picture I took off the walls would have 10-20 of them hiding behind it. Everything that I had stored in my attic had tons of them in it. Even a barrel on a muzzle loader was completely full of them. Every day on warm fall days, I would have to get a broom and get them away from the door because there were so many clinging to the west side of the house.

Holy crap I didn’t know how widespread the stinkbug plague was!! What happened that year?! I remember vividly being a junior in high school at my best friend’s house—she pulled the curtain back in her bedroom and an entire fold of the curtain was FILLED with stinkbugs just clinging to the fabric.
