Get ready for the return of stink bugs

Throwing the deuces
I've lived here for 15 years and I don't think I've ever seen one, at least not in the house. :shrug: We have always had cats so maybe they take care of them before we see it.

The cats will kill them but I've not seen a cat eat one. You are fortunate to not have them in the house. They even make their way into your dresser drawers - not something you want to see when you open your panty drawer LOL

And they crawl on you while you sleep. I hate when I feel something on my arm when I am sleeping and I pray it is my hair tickling my skin not a a stinkbug (or ladybug).

Stink bug study: Residents sought to help

"KEARNEYSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - As fall approaches and the weather cools, the omnipresent Brown Marmorated Stink Bug will begin looking for a nice, cozy place to stay. So researchers at the USDA Appalachian Fruit Research Station in Jefferson County are asking the public to help them figure out why the bugs choose some houses over others."

Cooler temperatures mean the return of stink bugs

They are back in the news again - those pesky stinky bugs! Get ready, cause here they come ........

"WASHINGTON - A major pest is poised for a comeback.

The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is invading homes and cars as temperatures drop. The bugs, which release their characteristic noxious odor to deter predators, are now moving away from their summer feeding spots and toward winter refuges.

"I think we're in for a big season this year," says Mike Raupp, Professor of Entomology at the University of Maryland. "We expect this may be as bad - or as significant - as the year 2010, which was the breakout year for these stinkbugs around here." "

Homemade stink bug traps better than store-bought (Video)

"WASHINGTON -- Warmer weather will bring out stink bugs from cooler hiding places. To get rid of them, researchers at Virginia Tech found homemade stink bug traps work better than store-bought traps.

A pan of soapy water under a desk lamp attracts and kills 14 times more stink bugs than commercially produced traps that can cost as much as $50, the study finds. The study was conducted in 16 houses over two years. "
