We are getting lots of reports of houses being inundated with what
is likely the brown mamorated stink bug. This insect is a pest of a
wide variety of crops including soybeans, fruits, and ornamentals. When it’s done feasting on these crops, they turn their attention to finding a place to overwinter. This situation is virtually identical to the problems with have with the Asian lady beetles except they actually stink worse than the lady beetles do when you crush them (they are called STINK bugs for a reason!)
The problem is also identical to the beetle in that little can be done
to stop them. Use a vacuum cleaner to collect them indoors.
