Here I see a few inside during the winter but they don't come out to the living areas in large numbers till ~ May-June when it gets warm.
Then they are all over the house. They don't carry disease but they make a mess and stink if you squash them. last year one was on my bed next to me as I was sleeping and I rolled over and squashed him, yuck
During those warm months each day when I come home from work I vacuum up a bunch of them (4 or 5) off the window-sill (inside) as they are drawn to the sunlight.
Then early July they are gone, that part of the yearly cycle is over.
The way I see it...
Starting this November, we’ll begin cleaning out the stinkbugs... a bunch of them, at least.
Then, by 2016, we should be getting a pretty thorough stinkbug purge.
And yes, they DO make a mess and quite a stink. As a matter of fact, they stink up everything they touch.
I’m sitting here listening to a CD set called “Ronald Reagan In His Own Words”.
I do miss that man terribly.
Hearing his views on America is refreshing, and is a wonderful contrast to the nightmare we have been going through for the past 6 years.
