Is anybody else having a STINK BUG problem?
-
No. I have only encountered stink bugs outdoors. When I came across some, I knocked them off of whatever I did not want them on: my shoes, food, clothes, papers, or tablecloth (while having a picnic outside). I have never had any in my house. Maybe some RAID can kill them, if they are in your house. I'm not sure if that will work, since I have never tried that before. Anyway, wish you luck with your stink bug problem.

I noticed that I would see them inside whenever it got cold at night. I checked online and yes, they tend to come indoors where it's warm when it's chilly outside. I don't know what your weather is like, but we just had a cold spell for a few nights and, yes, a couple came in. They are tough to kill since I'm afraid to use things like Raid because I worry that it could be toxic to my cat.

During the winter and early part of Spring it seemed as if the stink bugs were coming in a lot more. Lately thought I haven't seen any around outside or inside.

I never saw them before moving to West Virginia.

I never saw them before three years ago. At first, I thought they were coming in because of a tree that's near the living room window. However, I continued to see them when it got cold even after the tree was trimmed back. I'm in Ohio.

No I don't, but that sounds disgusting!
-
I don't think I have any issues, but I hate bugs of ANY sort!! Yuck!!!
-
Boy at the beginning of the month they were a really big problem. They were everywhere here, indoors and out doors!! It got cold again here last week and didn't see much of them. But now starting to warm up
and they are back again! I'm hoping that the cicades (bugs) that are arriving now will eat the stink bugs.!!... lol At least according to the TV, the cicades (bugs) are suppose to outnumber the stink bugs this year.
They only come out once every 17 years!! I can only hope they eat up all the stink bugs while they are here. ;D
-
I hadn't thought of that, but I, too, hope the cicadas eat the stink bugs. We had so many stink bugs last year it was almost overwhelming. Not as many this year, for some reason. I haven't found any really good solution for getting rid of them. I ended up just removing them by taking a tissue and capturing them and throwing them in the toilet. They are fairly easy to catch.
-
I'm glad I haven't encountered any where I live. When I went to West Virginia to visit some family, that was the first time I found out about stinkbugs and at my aunt's house, I saw a couple of them in the house. One less bug I have to worry about.
-
Never seen one. What do they look like?
-
I hate those annoying critters -_-... I have that problem last year and they are so annoying to kill and that odor.... I don't have a problem right now, but I am assuming they will come visit at the summer
-
I guess no, but would like to know what stink bugs are.
-
There not to bad here,but we have a mosquito problem
-
For those who want to know about stink bugs, someone put a link in their post to an article in Wikipedia that explains. You can always identify by the shape of their shell - looks like a shield. You can always Google it.
-
Oh yes indeed it is crazy!!!!!!!!!I heard if you keep a bootle with soap and water an d you spray them you get rid of them.

I live in austin and usually the toads take care of this!!!
