Same with the Brown marmorated stink bug

When it first appeared as an invasive species in our area (western MA), it quickly appeared everywhere, about 15 years ago. They especially like to wedge into window, door and roof seams in south-facing parts of the house, for winter.

A couple years after that, I saw some Robins pecking at one, and realized the local critters had found a new food source

While stink bugs still are around, they are found in much lower numbers

Here in Indiana, we had the worst winter for stink bugs. I finally bought a small hand held vacuum to suck up all the stink bugs. It works great.
