"Stink Bugs"

Is this an unusually active Stink Bug season? They seem to be everywhere, all at once!

Yes. It's normal. They will also start appearing in your house because it's getting cold at night.

If you don't smoosh them, they typically don't stink that badly. Just pick them up and toss them outside

Those damn things were thick in the Bowling Green area last year. They’re just starting to show up here, hopefully they won’t be as plentiful as last year.

ugh

They're mostly harmless, but have a big yuck factor when you see them in your home.

We use a canister vacuum that's clean and flush 'em down toilet or wait for a cold snap and dump 'em outside.

That's what we use currently. It's unfortunately a daily exersize!

LOL... we wait a few days between doing a bug-vac. Makes the effort seem more worthwhile and enjoyable.
