I figured this is a good question to ask Hams. Who all knows what the Stink Bug is? How many of you are infested with it? I'd like to get an idea how far it is spreading and how to kill it. Virginia is infested with the little buggers.

We find one in the house every now and then. Don't kill it indoors. Just pick it up with a tissue and take it outside.
Many varieties of the stink bug, but you are probably dealing with this one, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug
This is a recent imported bug, and it's moving north fast with the warmer weather. Does your county have an Agricultural extension service? They are going after fruit and vegetable crops, probably others.

Dad is a retired entomologist and agronomist, I used to work for him in the summers as a kid. Be careful with the use of chemicals. Stink bugs can be killed with chemicals, but they will come back, and they are a hardy bug... so you end up using a LOT of chemicals.. But I'd see what the farmers are doing, and check with local Universities, Virginia Tech is into it. Find the kids that are working on it for their Masters. ;)

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
