Damn stink bugs

[Zag]

This past week my house has been covered with stink bugs. They are literally all over. I've never had an issue with them in the past yrs. I step out back to let the dogs out and their landing on me. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I see them crawling on outside of screen at my place, i flick the screen to knock them away but in no time they are back. As long as they aren't inside but i hear what your saying. Other friends have mentioned that there seems to be more of them this year.

Not stink bugs for us but spiders everywhere! 

I leave the house in the morning and  spider webs are hanging off everything.................at night we can watch some huge spiders working their webs on the front porch.  Cool but freaky!

Just a few each year..and they get into this house somehow..Oh the joy of rolling over in bed and one is under you..son of a gun!

Those are crane flies, harmless yet annoying

We were getting stink bugs in the house all summer ,it seemed like everyday I was killing one and throwing it out . I would use 2 paper towels folded a couple times ,after I snatched them I would squish them and the stink would still get on my fingers.

I counted over 30 just on the French doors.

Feel bad for you zag........had them on my house like that a few years ago. Their not too bad this year.

Get yourself a spray bottle and make a mixture of water and Dawn dishwashing soap. Then just spray em and watch them die.

Just don't squish them....the stench only attracts more.

I twanged one off the bathroom screen a bit ago..but compared to most years this has been a mild one for them...

Geez they took off when I sprayed them, then I noticed how dirty my siding is so now we're heading out at half time to spray the house down

Lol.....sorry to make you work on game day.

Maybe add more soap to the mixture might help. When I did it , they just fell to the ground.

Had them earlier in the summer , last couple days they came back . Few inside few on screen doors. 

Dont squish them ! Use a paper cup, catch and flush .

FWIW to non-bug people... stink bugs eggs are laid in clusters on leaf surfaces. Many look like miniature beer kegs!!! LOL

We have had them in the house all year. I just gently cover them in a tissue, scoop them up and quickly take them for a swim in the toilet. No stink, but it is a daily thing.
I was cleaning the barn on Saturday and there were hundreds of them, especially on the south facing windows.
I don't remember them from my childhood, it seems like I only noticed them in the last 12-15 years? Not sure, but there are lots of them around this year.

Last couple of years here they are everywhere here...

All over the back of the house today and a few inside as usual..

definitely popping up again inside. I heard of a trap that's water in a bowl/pan with dish soap. Shine a desk lamp on it. going to try it as i'm sick of the wife bitching lol.

I had them all winter, 3 or 4 a day. In the late spring they disappeared. Now they are back all over the outside of the house. I image I'll have tons this winter based on what I'm seeing out side now.

Great cover scent for your hunting clothes.  Squish and apply. 

[genesee_mohican]

The stink bug population seems to be on the rise here. I went from hardly ever seeing one, to a few here and there. Last year there were quite a few but this year is way worse.

 When they are inside,  grab them with duct tape to avoid the stink. Looks like I'll need to buy a few rolls.
