Just bought. And now moving because of a bug- yeah, right!
Rid them quickly? Maybe.

The social network doesn't work that way. When the queen is gone the colony is gone.

Yes, I think those stink bugs are becoming the pest of the future. I've seen a lot more of them in the past few years. They are harmful to gardens and crops, but they don't bite. We often seem to have an over abundance of something in late summer/early fall. It always used to be the boxelder bugs, then it was the orange lady bugs, and now the new wave is stinkbugs. I can't believe how easy they get into the house considering how much fatter they are than a boxelder or lady beetle. Stink bugs are very resilient, I haven't seen any since November, then right out of the blue I saw one flying around the living room just the other night, after not seeing any for at least 6 weeks. And it was zero degrees outside too, and had been cold for several days before, hasn't been above 20 degrees since before Christmas, lol. This summer I'm going to spray more around my sliding patio door, as that seems to be the entry point, but I have it sealed really good now for winter, how did that Houdini stink bug get in here?

I was so impressed with that stink bug, I let him live because the cat likes to chase him and it made it feel like summer again, lol. I found it lying dead the next day near the patio door.

My stink bug problem went away when I stopped veggie gardening. Yea, I'll see one or two, but nothing like I had before.
