I have a problem with stinkbugs in my house. Usually I don't mind them, as there are usually just a few. But lately they seem to be inside in ridiculous numbers, and what's worse is that their odor attracts more once they get in the house.

They are ugly, and they smell if they are handled or crushed.

Anybody else have a problem with these?

They're everywhere. I opened my microwave and one was in there. Last night I felt something in my shirt-I pulled it out and there was one.

Haven't seen much lately. I guess this particular house is lucky. :lol:

Wikipedia says they hibernate in winter, so they're probably just trying to get inside and stay warm and active. Should cease once we start having temps below freezing regularly.

Haven't seen any here at my condo, but the exterminators spray the grounds every month or so, so maybe that keeps them at bay.

Or maybe my farts are offensive to them... :D
