My last house would get stink bugs and they seemed to be near us, like on the table or somewhere close. Not like a spider who stays away from people. Well, my story is, I was in my bedroom and I smoke cannabis. I had my bowl on the window ledge and picked it up and lit it. Smoked it and thought what is this icky taste? It was a stink bug literally sitting in the bowl! I smoked him! The taste was so bad! I completely sympathize with you as I had the taste in my mouth for at least an hour. Lol!

Damn you had me. I thought EBE had something to do with the corrosive reaction on your skin when it's pressed against you.

As a Pest Management specialist I will agree that exclusion is the first and best option. Also if you notice stink bugs gathering on the outside or on the inside of your house in specific areas wash those effected areas with warm water and dish soap. Stink bugs deposit pheromones that attract other stink bugs. By washing the areas you see them at it will neutralize any deposited pheromones. Pesticides are also not really necessary. a mixture of warm water and dish soap will kill them by blocking their spiracles, little holes in their exoskeleton that they breath through and it will suffocate them.

Don’t water bugs or cockroaches do the same? When you kill them u should make sure you clean that area, even if you step on them clean the bottom of your shoe bcuz they leave an odor that attracts their counterparts? I live in an area w/ trees & grass everywhere & in the summer I deal w/ bugs & insects & in the cold months I deal w/ lil rodents like mice trying to stay outta the cold by stowing away in my home. It’s always a darn fight.

@@christophergregory1 For the mice, exclusion is the best method. Go around the outside of your home, check where the utilities enter the home. If there are any gaps stuff them with steel wool. make sure you install a cage around dryer vents with bars with gaps small enough mice can't get through. Check your door sweeps, this is the most common place rodents gain entry to your home. At night have someone shine a flashlight along the bottom of the door, if you can see light the mice can get in. Check the edges of the door sweep, that is where mice will chew them away. As far as the bugs go, yes sanitation is the key. The German cockroach eats grease to it is important to keep the kitchen clean and grease free. If you have any cracks and crevice's seal them up with caulk.

I'm in Idaho and have about an acre of land for my Farmers market. I used to grow all types of vegetables. One type was squash which is very easy to grow. But I had tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, lettuce, corn, and just about anything you could ever buy in your local produce department. Stink bugs killed my business in part. Way back when they started when people were unaware of this issue one year I saw the bug on my squash. I happen to be growing summer squash, zucchini in particular that year. It wasn't just one they were eating the entire squash. I examined the plants leaves and on the back side there were millions of eggs. I went to the next zucchini plant same thing same thing on another my whole crop is destroyed. Okay so I dug those plants up and burned them guess what? The next crop over which were tomato plants started showing signs of stink bugs and their eggs on the back side of the leaves. It pretty much put me out of business for a couple of years selling my vegetables is how I survive here. I made it though I had to stop the crop for a couple of years and move it to a different location on my property. I think I would like to express mostly that zucchini plants will attract these bugs if they're flying over your area.

We get a lot of them in Wisconsin. I have found spraying window screens periodically with isopropyl alcohol discourages them from coming in that way. Also, spraying alcohol on them kills them. If you see them crawling up wall, drapes, window, etc. and you have an empty plastic bottle, you can slide it up behind them causing them to fall in, and then cap the bottle. They don't seem to be able to grip on to things very well and easily fall.

My family and I live in Illinois- Chicago area. We first started seeing stink bugs several years ago. We didn't used to, and we wondered why they started appearing all of a sudden. Interesting to learn from your video how they only came to the U.S. in the mid-90s. Probably took a few years to get from the east coast to the midwest; makes sense! They fly into the lamps and make an annoying sound; they leave spots and stains, as you said. Our house is adjacent to a large nature preserve, so we get a lot of "nature" at our house. But when the nature comes inside and makes a pest of itself, that's not so pleasant. We just may try that water-dish method; we hate having 'em around. Thank you for making this informative video!

I know many apple growers and they definitely are a problem for them. I live surrounded by woods and as you mentioned September/October they increase in numbers looking for warmth. They can squeeze through small gaps and crevices. I recently noticed 2-3 a day in the house and this was abnormal for December. Finally discovered they were coming through my chimney/wood stove. I haven’t burned my wood stove for several years. When I opened it there was probably a thousand or more dead one inside. I hadn’t had this problem in past years but this year they definitely found a way in. To all views Franks advice to seal off any way on entry. Thanks again Frank, I’m a new subscriber

Repent to Jesus Christ! “As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:1-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I am now deep cleaning my room and freaking out at the same time. Now that I know they don't bite or lay eggs I am better. Keep up the good work.

I'm a total geek scientist (PhD type) who has played with things like this since I was a kid. I'm now 69 years old and find the stink bugs in my house to be cool and entertaining. If they are too high on the wall or in the ceiling, I just let them be. If they are reachable, I gently scoop them up with my fingers and take them outside. FYI, they have never "released their bad odor" with me. I also treat spiders in a gentle manner, placing them outside, although I handle them using a cup or glass (in case they bite and are venomous). We share our world with many living things. Such a cool place this is!

We get usually 1 at a time, sneaking in when we open the patio door. Usually they buzz by my ear and land on the back of my chair, some have sat down on my shoulder, like they want to hang out with me. Eventually I brush them into a paper cup and toss them back out. I find the stink to be mild, reminds me of dryer sheets.

Greetings from stinkbug Ground Zero! I haven't seen the stink bugs in my house for the past few years. I asked my friend Jane, who lives in New Tripoli, what was going on with them. And she said, "The birds are eating them; they have developed a taste for spicy food. I used to get dive-bombed every spring. They would congregate on the ceiling as they were waking up. And then before I knew they were there, they would they would divebomb me directly in the center of my hairline. I suspect there's a pheromone there that was attracting them. I don't know whether they thought of me as a rival or a potential mate. Either way it didn't work out.

There was a huge problem with stink bugs destroying crops on PA farms a few years ago. They released wasps to eat larvae and/or eggs. You should probably release a lot of wasps in your house. Hope that helps. They release pheromones that attract others. Try cleaning your windows with dish soap and antibacterial wipes once a week for a bit. ...or that wasp thing. There is also fire as a last resort. All sound advice.

I grew up with these things. And I can remember my great grandmother showing them to me and telling me what they were. She was born in Louisiana in 1880. Sooo they've been here a lot longer than what you said. I grew up in Texas.

Of course, we have always had our familiar NATIVE stink bug species around forever as a familiar part of our natural native insect community. Our native stink bugs do not multiply like this and invade homes in mass numbers in winter .

As they prepare to either preserve a place for their young or batten down the hatches they become more visible. While we are seeing day time temperatures in the 80's, nights are cooler. The siding on buildings radiate heat at night attracting insects.

I was surprised to hear you say these were first recorded here in 1996. I was born in 1974 and here in Columbus, Georgia we have had stink bugs all my life. Certainly all through the 80s. They are identical to what you were showing except ours might be a bit more grey in color. We've always called them stink bugs too. I recently had a number of them show up from boxes that were in my mom's garage which is why I watched the suggested video. I am now very curious as to this timeline discrepancy.

Yes! Correct! We have always had stink bugs around! A common native natural to our environment and ecology. My video is focused on this one particular...not native species. Also known as shield bugs...they do all look very similar ...of course same family. On closer examination : The Brown Marmorates Stink Bug species is the only species with the dark and white banding on edge of abdomen and on antenna! Thanks for asking! Good point!

Thank you for making this video about this new Univited pest from China. I can't recall exactly when, but I do remember watching an early season NY Giants Football game on TV and suddenly (it was pretty warm that day), there was an Invasion of Hundreds of Stink Bugs all over my skylights , Roof, and in the house. At the time, we were able to identify them as Stink Bugs on the Web. I used Hornet Spray from the deck, spraying it at them on the Skylight and roof, it did not Kill Them. Then I used rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle attached to my hose, and that semed to curtail them. The Info I found was that They Invade like that in the Fall and goto the South West corner of your Home. That is exactly where I saw them. There are UT videos of people Vacuuming up Stink Bugs by the Bagful up in their attics !! Since that Invasion, I have had some bugs but never like that. My Exterminator sprays a few times a year in the yard. I should say, I have No Fruit Trees in the yard, but do have some Veggies. Like The Spider Crickets before them - which also persist - Thank You China !

I've had about 10 since we moved into the new place. We've actually gotten pretty tight. I've never seen them excrete anything and they don't smell at all. I have seen them go after the residue from my cocoa mix. They really like that. But they just seem really nice and harmless, so I don't mind them. I daresay I've developed feelings for them. I just watered one and aimed it out the window into the spring air and it took flight as tears took to my eyes. Godspeed, stinky bug. I'll never forget the time we shared.

This is what I use to control stink bugs...A small spray bottle, put about 2 tablespoons of cheap dish soap in the bottle and then fill with water and stir it well. Adjust nozzle to stream. Shoot the bugs until well wetted. As the solution dries it seals their breathing pores and they die. Biodegradeable and non toxic to the environment. I also use this solution for ants, wasps, earwhigs and other nuisance bugs.

I just found a stink bug walking up my headphone cord last night. Scared me at first. Then I realized what it was and grabbed it with a tissue and flushed him down the toilet. I think I saw him wave at me as he rode the swirling death trap to hell. They spray-washed my outside windows earlier in the day. I guess he got washed out of his cubby hole and was in search of a warm spot in my computer. OH, HECK NO! Thanks for this video, it was very informative.

Then there was about a 2 1/2 year period where I didn't have any guineas and let me tell you, I thought there was a stink bug apocalypse or something. Well, when I realized that the guineas helped keep them at bay, I went out and bought like 30 baby guineas...the year after and until now, I have not had an issue at all... if I am lucky, I might see one.

"If you're sitting by a light reading a book, you sometimes get dive-bombed at night" So true. When I'm sitting at my computer next to my light and a big-ass random stink bug comes flying in from out of nowhere, it startles me every time - especially if they land on me. Their smell doesn't bother me much. If anything, it satisfies me, because I know that MFer is dead and won't be flying around my computer when I crush it.

I remember in 2011 the place where I was living at the time was massively invaded by stink bugs. Not the one or two, like you showed, but atleast a hundred! And that was on one window alone. The other window only had about a score. Both west and southwest facing windows. Naturally, I get called upon to take care of the problem and my solution was a leaf blower. Opened up the windows and air blasted those buggers outdoors. Like you, I don't believe in killing needlessly ( unless it's ticks or skeeters ) Side note: I did notice an increase in bird activity around that corner of the house, and a few wolf spider funnels had signs of gourmet eating.

My old house was like 100 Years old so there was cracks everywhere they could get In plus my house was surrounded with trees. This was 2012. I had to have seen at least 10,000 of them that Year. I was was killing them 10 at a time multiple times a day. My window seals had just piles of them dead. When I moved I moved to apartments and there was a big tree outside and they were coming Into my apartment but not as bad. I was seeing like 10 a day. They cut the tree down about five years ago and I probably have seen about 10 total since then. I used to see lots of them In our hall ways but don't see them there anymore. But I do have lady bugs everywhere but that's a fair trade. Good Video.

Good afternoon good I’ll

Great. Thanks. I had a 3 story house in Philadelphia, (2003) that was quite overrun by stink bugs. To tall to maintain and calk. Then I moved to central PA in 2011,(i a little hut style home) many many on side of house in fall. What I do...get strong house, (high water pressure helps, but not a machine, just strong flow from hose) attach a soap dispenser on house with a little Dove soap or mild dishwashing detergent. Spray the whole side of house, (Western side) and watch em drop. They still get in. My 3 story house was too tall for me to get on a ladder and calk every nook and cranny, but my smaller hut is easier. In the spring there are still many trying to get out, but the soapy water and hose seems to limit the amount I have in spring on the warmer days.
