Stink bugs are beginning to come indoors.
Searching for warmer temperatures, pests come through doors and windows.
Temperatures are beginning to dip down into the range of what meteorologist call “chilly.” The change in temperature makes our friend, the brown marmorated stink bug look for warmth.
Stink bugs come into our homes because they are looking for a place to hibernate over autumn and winter. This means that we are witnessing the first of an ever mounting ascension of these pesky bugs around our doors and windows.
Remember, stink bugs do more damage outside than they do inside. Crops and foliage pierced by their pincers are susceptible to fungus and disease. Stink bugs, however, do very little damage to homes, furniture or clothing.

They simply bother humans when they are inside our homes. Maybe it’s because we know that a disturbed stink bug will live up to its name.
Let’s home this year’s crop of stink bugs is imperturbable!
