As soon as fall arrive, stink bugs will be looking for a place to freeload over the winter. You'll recognize them by their marbled or streaked appearance. They're noxious in ways other than their smell, which has been compared to rotting meat and is emitted when they feel threatened. They're often found in New York City sinks and bathtubs after creeping inside through drains. 26,000-Strong Stink Bug Invasion Fortunately, not every homeowner has a stink bug horror story like that of Pam Stone and Paul Zimmerman, who discovered 26,000 stink bugs that invaded their home as the cooler air of fall came to South Carolina. They had left doors open leading to a second-story deck outside their bedroom and the stink bugs marched right in. Subscribe The couple's experience, recounted by Kathryn Schulz in The New Yorker, was "like a horror movie," Stone said. They were on every visible surface and on many that weren't visible. Squashing them wasn't the answer, of course, because that's exactly when they throw off that smell. But when the couple carried some outside, more stink bugs came in. This went on for days, with Stone and Zimmerman finding them in the strangest places. New York City, NY | News | 15h Apologies Were 'Last Words' To Grandparents Who Died Alone Latest U.S. coronavirus news: Negative test soon needed to enter country; delays in single-dose vaccine development; gorillas test positive. Tim Moran's profile picture Tim Moran, Patch Staff Verified Patch Staff Badge Apologies Were 'Last Words' To Grandparents Who Died Alone Thank Reply Share Stone, who is an actress, comedian and horse trainer, sprang off her horse like she'd been catapulted when she discovered her saddle was crawling with them. Your home may not be invaded by a horde of tens of thousands, but a wildlife biologist in Maryland, entomologists in Virginia and bank employees in West Virginia reported larger infestations — about a million in one place, according to one estimate — of the shield-shaped menace, The New Yorker report said. Scared yet? When stink bugs feed on crops, damage can include everything from bruises and blemishes to aborted sweet corn kernels to a change in the sugar levels in some fruits. Stink bugs damage ornamental trees as well as fruits and vegetables, and they pose such a threat that the U.S. Department of Agriculture funded the Stop the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug strike force. It's a team of 50 researchers from 18 land-grant universities closely tracking the migration of the invasive, fast-moving pest. Stink Bug Control Tips On the home front, your best defense against stink bugs is to arm yourself with weather stripping, caulking and tape, and make your home a fortress. Seal up gaps and crevices around foundations and any area where doors, windows, chimneys and utility pipes are cut into the exterior. Any opening large enough for a stink bug to crawl through should be sealed. The best thing to do if you find them inside is gently sweep them into a bucket, then fill it with a couple of inches of soapy water. You could vacuum them up, but perhaps as a last resort because it will trigger stink bugs' notorious odor and make your vacuum cleaner smell nasty. Some companies recommend a special stink bug vacuum — a cheap, handheld model used only for that chore. The bag should be tossed in a thick, disposable trash bag and taken far from the house. Poison can quickly kill the stink bugs, but that will also trigger their stench. Professional extermination is another option. Or, Just Live With Stink Bugs Or, if you can bear the thought of living communally with stink bugs inside your home, you could just leave them alone. Their piercing, sucking mouthparts — tiny shields about a half-inch long and wide, which they curiously tuck between their legs when they're not piercing and sucking the juice from plants — are not good for biting people. Stink bugs can't sting you. They don't nest or lay eggs or reproduce. They don't feed on anything or anyone in your house. They just move in to take a load off for a few months — scientifically, they enter a dormant phase known as diapause. You're unlikely to even know they're there unless you do something to disturb them. Asian Lady Beetle Invasion? The term “ladybug” is often used to refer to all the small beetle species that belong to the Coccinellidae family of insects. Spotting these insects in the wild is often exciting for people, and ladybugs are commonly treated with some degree of affection and/or reverence in the United States. However, many Americans are not aware that numerous ladybug species are considered invasive pests within the US. One of the most significant pest species belonging to the ladybug family is known as the Asian lady beetle. These beetles first appeared in New York state in 1994, but other sources claim that the insects were found in the country a decade prior to this. Since their introduction into New York state, these insects have been increasing their presence within and around homes. Although these insects do not bite or spread disease, they can invade homes by the hundreds or more, causing annoyance to homeowners. Luckily, researchers have determined when Asian lady beetles will become numerous enough in the wild to pose a pest problem in homes. Registration number 21-0621
