I wrote about these horrid little creatures called stink bugs back in October. At that point in time, it was a full invasion where the siding of my house was literally covered with their creepy little bodies. They were also getting inside the house. It is now June and although my siding is stink bug free, the inside of my house is not!
I figured I would bring this topic up again because my original post is still getting comments from other unlucky people that have also been invaded by these things. Unfortunately, none of us have found a solution. I truly thought I would get a break from these bugs at least until the fall, but no such luck. The box elder bugs have gone away but the stinky little buggers just keep hanging out in my house. I remove anywhere between 2 and 7 a day.
If anyone out there has any tips or suggestions for the permanent removal of these pests, please let us know. Did I mention that they REALLY stink?!
Does anyone know the origin of these bugs and why they seem to have taken over in the last three years. I’ve never seen one until 3 years ago so what’s up with that? Now I find anywhere from 4-6 bugs a day. My husband thinks they were living in the air conditioners and when we took them out of the window in the fall they invaded the crawl spaces where we store the air conditioners and that’s how they gained access to my house. They’re are so many that I don’t believe they are just getting in doors & windows. They’ve definately gained access some other way and I think the air conditioner makes sense but why this invasion? Does anyone know and does anyone know how to get rid of them?
