Experts say the insects are from Asia and first appeared in Allentown, Pennsylvania back in 1996. They then spread throughout our area and beyond. There are no known predators, so the bugs continue to creep into homes through cracks and crevices.
Experts say while last year was bad, this year will be worse.
"I thought I heard something rattling in the baseboard and there were hundreds in one window," Wade added.
Residents say they are under attack inside and outside of their home. "I was battling them out of the way," Milhaupt said.
Milhaupt says she snags them with tissue, handling them carefully in order to prevent the bugs form releasing their oily, mildew-like odor before sending them on their way.

There’s a very non-PC, Hilarious joke here somewhere. Quick, someone call Ann Coulter for biting humor and lightening quick wit!

I wonder who these little guys voted for? Will they count in next year's census? Are they members of ACORN? How do you tell the difference between a stink bug and a politician?
I could go on and on with this for hours, but you all get the idea.
