Oh no!  Sure hope we don't get them again.  We've had them twice, same area.  Side door that leads out of kitchen to back yard.  We have exterminators for 9 years now.  They spray every 3 months inside and out and have warranty for termites (have stations).  Called them the first time we had them and was told there isn't anything they could do.  Eventually they just fly away but it's still nasty.  Hope they don't come back....ever.

My office has a door that opens onto our deck, today that screen had a couple dozen stink bugs on it. koking now that it is dark they are gone. I wonder if they will come back tomorrow. . . . last year I spritzed them with vinegar water, that got rid of them.

I've been a Michigander all my life and now live in upper Michigan and have no idea what a stink bug even looks like. Never heard of them until I began reading these forums. Woman Frustrated

I'm in SE PA and the only nasty bug that I have seen recently was a big (with a very large body) spider creating a web by my garage door!  The center art of it was so thick it looked like it was carrying a lot of eggs! UGH!

I always ask them, 'why in the world do you want to come in.?' It's a beautiful day and you've got the whole city to roam and fly and have yourself a good time. I just don't get why you want to come in my house. (No answer so far Smiley Happy

The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions. In September 1998, it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced.

The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), commonly referred to as SLF, is an invasive planthopper native to parts of China and Vietnam that was first detected in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014, likely arriving via international trade.

We have that brown kind in my state. They get in the house too. I catch them and bring them back outside.
