Is it weird that I've never smelled them? I don't know if I'm immune to the smell or what. They are super gross though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327455 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:33:16 +0000 duckduckkristen 327455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get them in our house every spring and fall. We bought a little hand vacuum and use that to suck them up. </p> <p>Just yesterday I saw one climbing up the bag of chips I was eating! Yuck! I hate them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327432 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:22:20 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 327432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I've never seen one inside, thank goodness! And I've never gotten sprayed by one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327428 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:20:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 327428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh weird!! Never heard of them, but I'm on the west coast. They sound disgusting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327385 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:02:07 +0000 Minnie_Girl 327385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh God yes. I HATE them!!! They're more invasive than sin, they stink, they're nearly impossible to kill, they buzz really loudly when they fly, and to top it all off they look like flying ticks! I want to kill them all. Every last one.</p> <p>The front door has water damage, and the stink bugs have been crawling in through the crack. One day I counted twenty in the house. TWENTY! *dies* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327331 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:35:45 +0000 fairefaire 327331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: I've only seen one so far, so I'm hoping we don't see more, but since my husband apparently saw 4, I'm paranoid there are more lurking somewhere.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327328 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:34:52 +0000 prettylizy 327328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was a funny post about stinky babies or something (we sometimes call LO stinkbug when she needs a diaper change) lol!!</p> <p>Never heard of them, hoping to never meet them either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327322 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:32:52 +0000 dagret 327322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alie: we flush 'em. Or if there are a ton, put soapy water in the bottom of a shop vac and suck them up. The surfactant in the soap suffocates them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327320 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:32:01 +0000 dagret 327320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: good luck - hope they continue to stay out! </p> <p>@sorrycharlie: you would totally know if you had them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327315 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:30:42 +0000 fairefaire 327315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Eek!!! Thankfully I've become an expert at the stealthy, sneak-attack method of slowly and quietly capturing bugs under cups/boxes/bowls/etc. I usually put a heavy book on top and then another cup/bowl/box/etc on top of that and wait for my husband to get home (yes I'm a wuss). Occasionally (like yesterday) I have the guts to slide some paper underneath and carefully carry them out to the street, where hopefully they are then run over by a car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327306 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:28:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 327306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>huh! I don't think so but I don't really know what it is. my first thought was bugs life - so they don't spray like skunks? eeewww! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327302 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:27:20 +0000 yin 327302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Yes, temperatures have been going down. We have lucked out the past 2 years and hope they won't get in this year either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-327297 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:25:17 +0000 dagret 327297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: They're devil bugs, and have only been in the US for a few years. So they're mainly an east coast thing right now.<br /> <a href="http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brown-marmorated-stink-bug" rel="nofollow">http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brown-marmorated-stink-bug</a></p> <p>And nothing kills them (besides flushing them, dropping them into soapy water, or my dog.) </p> <p>@alie: oh, beware, they'll spray you if they get startled. </p> <p>@yin: has it started to get chilly where you live? Because that's when they start to get in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-326919 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:11:58 +0000 fairefaire 326919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG YES! For the first time ever. </p> <p>I heard an annoying noise yesterday and then saw this ugly bug next to me on the couch. I freaked out and captured it in a cup (with paper on top) and ran outside with it... my neighbor saw me acting like a lunatic so I had to explain what I was doing. She looked at it and said it was a stinkbug! I told my husband about it and he said he didn't want to tell me but he found FOUR by our door the other day and got rid of them.</p> <p>So. Very. Gross.</p> <p>Apparently they only stink if you crush them or something? Ugh. I hope we don't have any more.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-326876 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 08:59:11 +0000 chopsuey 326876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eww I have no idea what a stink bug is.. -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-326868 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 08:57:36 +0000 yin 326868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but luckily they stay outside of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stinkbugs-where-you-live#post-326863 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 08:56:57 +0000 dagret 326863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you get stinkbugs where you live? Ugh, it's the time of year when they are getting into the house and they are driving me nuts. I was getting dressed this morning and got sprayed by a stinkbug hitching a ride on my (then-clean) bra. Yuck! </p>
