Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs
 

Does anyone else have them?

These bugs are driving me insane!!
It's like a swarm has decided to use my house as its nesting area! It's so gross. I usually see like 4-5 a day..
But last night, I had it!, I was sitting watching tv, and I hear a buzzing sound, and I turn around and there are like 4, sitting on my wall.
I was able to get 3 of them.
I then called my dad in to show him, and he turned over the curtains in my room, and then my parents room, and the living room, and they were on the back of them...We musta got like 25-35 of them. Its real gross. I almost don't even wanna be in my house anymore!

Anyone else have them? As well as a way to get rid of them!!!??:bigeek:

i live in the woods, they are all over the place... i love when they are on the screens.. i flick the **** out of them. they dont get in the house tho.


we also have a ton of those big ass mosquito killers here at work.

I hate them. They scare me, like every other bug. Bugs shouldn't be that big.

i flick them off the screens too. id rather them be on the screens outside..then in little hiding places inside and out!!

we get them too...whatever you do don't crush them! lol

if i find them in the house i usually grab them with a tissue and flush them down the toilet.

yea man theyre all over the place here too. they like to chill under and behind stuff. sometimes if i flip a poster, there will be a group of them just chillin in there like WTF! :lol:

theyre really stupid though and will just let you scoop them up into like a soda bottle or something. i just scoop em up and throw em outside. one time i had one in a bottle, and i smashed the bottle as hard as i could onto a counter top. i looked inside and the stink bugs head just popped right off :lol:


oh and does anyone have those big stand up lights that point towards the ceiling? dumb ass stink bugs go sit in mine until they burn and then it stinks for a good 15 minutes and u can see it smoking

for a very small fee, i can be hired to keep you safe from the scary bugs

haha yeah i got a nest or something to in my garage i was moving stuff around i got attacked not really but 2 flew at me i freaked out and screamed like little girl and danced around got them off not thinking killed them smelled so bad ...

omg those little ****ing bastards are all over the place at my apartment. I must have literally killed 2 dozen of them yesterday IN my apartment.

I have no idea how they keep getting in! The worst part is my kitten keeps trying to catch them and in turn HE smells like a stink bug.

In case you don't know what they are and you are reading this thread, they look like this:

So am I the only one not cursed by them?

SUCKAZ!!!

Ah! I was about to make a threat about this because its horrible at my house too. The other day I counted 13 in my room, i was so pissed I just left my house and drove around haha. Seriously though, there has to be something we can do because its like some cheesy horror movie and they're invading us.

oh they're coming for you! haha

heh, my mom just emailed me, her & my dad just canceled there plans so that they cant take care of my room tonight while im in class from 6-10. they're gonna caulk any cracks around windows, and take my a/c unit out of the window (that may be one way they are getting in, not sure though)....ill love to have these things gone, i just feel bad that they cancelled their plans...
id love to be comfortable being in room though.

I've never even seen one of those before. LOL I guess I'm also not cursed by them.

I haven't really had a problem with these. And my patio faces a good amount of trees pretty close to it so I guess I'm lucky. But I hate the lil bastards too. Hate most bugs, except the furry catepillars. They're ok in my book.

i get a **** ton of them at my house, hundreds of them hide in my garage and ****. a vaccuum takes care of them.

yea, im cleaning my room right now....and i just vacummed 2...with the hand vacumme. which happens to be see-thru...still grossed out by them.

How big are these beasts?

How come they are the only product from China that actually do what their name says??? Why couldn't they be defective and NOT stink.

they're like anywhere from a 1/2 inch to an inch big.....im just happy they only mate june-august...OUTSIDE....they come inside for the warmth and such. since you stated you dont have any, you are welcome to come here and take some. i see one now.. i'll catch him for you

lol Mike. ugh they smell so so so bad, my apartment smelled like a stinkbug yesterday it was awful

Like the size of a dime...or smaller. I'm just really scared of anything that flies. :o

how about flying squirrels?

aaaaahhhhhhh

Now that you said that, they are now on their way to your house. Your going to scream like a little school girl. :rotfl:

Free shipping to my house?

one minute i'll see one on the outside of my window, then the next minute its on the inside of the window. wtfninjabugs.

I've seen these ****ers in my house before, and I had no idea they stunk like that. Smelling like moth balls ftl!

sure, ill set him free outside with your address taped to his back :mrgreen: he'll be there by tonight!

Only if you promise to have him spread the word and make photocopies for other bugs.

LMFAO!!! That's awesome. You better watch out for ninjabug stars being chucked at you.

DEAL! :-p

They like to dwell in my fireplace chimney. When I light my woodstove for the first time of the season, they start dropping out all over the place.

I found that most spray oven cleaners kill bugs dead instantly. None of that candy a$$ bug spray that plays nervous system games taking them down in a liberal humane way...just spray and watch them fall. 100% kill rating.

lol, i'm scared to open the stove that conects to the chimney we have. i don't even wanna know how many are in there. i'll let my dad do that one.

We get these around my house. Two winters ago my uncle had 3 in the house that he was feeding fruit and letting them chill in the front window of the house to stay warm. I don't think my aunt liked it much so I haven't seen him with any of his 'pets' recently.

Strange...

Never saw these around my way.... but we mostly just get mosiquitos near me.

I had a couple in my house, smelled like cilantro when I squished them.. odd

I hate 'em

proof that china sucks, they were first seen in allentown in 98, most likely a few of them were caught on some shipping crates and brought here. they are considered an agriculture pest. they are annoying because they just float around and land on you, they are nasty looking. my method is to spray them with with cleaner and watch them convulse to death, i have alot of kills under my belt. i think they should of stopped the problem before it got out of control.
