CPBassFishing Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 well.....I found the first one of those d*** stinkbugs in my house today. Another month and they'll be everywhere. Got any horror stories to share? Quote
The Rooster Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 We can only hope, cause that means spring is here! Time to fish! Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted March 10, 2013 Super User Posted March 10, 2013 Oh my god, I freaking hate those things! I don't know where they're getting in but once it warms up, there will be like 5 or 6 of those things in my house at any given time. I had one buzzing around my living room the other night while I was spooling up my new reel. Stupid thing wouldn't land. It just kept bouncing off the light bulbs in my ceiling fan. Plus they always land all over the screen on my back door and I have to flick them all off from the inside before I let my dog out. Bugs are the thing I hate most about spring and summer but like Rooster said, it means its almost fishing time. Quote

Super User Marty Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 I see a number of Stink Bugs, as I spend a lot of time outside with a camera. However, I had no idea they were house pests. There are numerous species in a variety of colors, but they all have that same body shape. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 i hate those things with a passion. its like a few years ago they just showed up in mass numbers out of nowhere in the mid-atlantic area of the country. when i lived in northern virginia a couple years ago in an older farm house, them things were everywhere at times. lining the corners in the ceilings of the house. dive bombing my head. and then you go to grab something and theres a stink bug on it that you crush and set that horrid smell free and its hard to wash off. and i would cover my drinks with a napkin or something because they will just fly and fall right in it and ruin it. theyre very clumsy bugs too Quote

And Ive crushed more than my fair share of them. I dunno. Maybe I just have a really poor sense of smell. In this case, I guess that makes me lucky. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I always know Spring is here when my wife comes running out of the shower because there is a stink bug in there. For some reason they really like to lounge in my bath tub. Quote
llPa1nll Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 They are very much an invasive species, Id say I have caught about 10 of them in the last week or so. I could do without them as well. Quote
