They're an invasive species of brown beetle from asia that apparently leave a stinky odor when attacked. I think I squish them & flush them down a toilet too quickly to even allow an odor to escape them!

I live in northeastern Ohio and we have the stink bugs, I hate them! Especially when they fly around and dive bomb around you! We never had them before a few years ago, hate flies too Nik!

I'm from Germantown! My brother and his family live there. Have I mentioned that before? Anyway my BFF still lives there, too and showed me a stink bug last summer. They are awful! I don't think we had them when I was growing up.
Anyway, do you know how to catch the fruit flies? Take a clear glass and fill it with maybe 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Then take a piece of while paper and make a funnel and put it in the top of the glass, without it touching the vinegar. The flies can get in, but they can't figure out how to get out. (I don't know why it's a clear glass and white paper. My aunt just told me to do it, so I do.) it works and you can let them free outside.

Yeah, I think they started showing up in recent history - lore is that they came in on a container from China via Allentown PA (where I'm from originally!) and spread like the dickens! ugh, they're so annoying and creepy...

I don't have fruit flies. Just average houseflies. Believe me...from my old house I know the difference!

LMAO !! I'm in FL & the palmetto bugs are ginormous! I have a friend that moved down from WI and she called me screaming that she had a monster roach in her house that when she moved; it moved lol. Poor thing started screaming she was callin the exterminators & I told her not to bother b/c the spray just makes the bugs horny it won't kill em. Poor thing was traumatized. Thank God she hasn't run up on a wood spider!

These things have always worked for me but it's been years and I am sure they have changed the formula. Can't hurt to give them a try.
