When the warmer weather starts to arrive, large green or brown bugs known as stink bugs may appear, crawling on walls, or flying around the windows in your home. If you live in a drafty old house, you’re likely seeing them just about everywhere, now that the sun has become brighter and stronger. If you don’t know what they are, you might swat at them, or step on them, but as soon as you do, you’ll know what you’re messing with, thanks to the horribly unpleasant smell.
These pesky little creatures stay hidden throughout the winter, but when springtime arrives, they start to move around, looking for a way out, and in the process, they often come inside one’s home. They also seek out hiding places in attics, crawl spaces, and inside of wall voids. The bugs are rather big and have an oval shape – and, are quite aptly named, from the odor of the chemical that’s produced in glands that are on their abdomen – that awful smell is believed to be a defense against predators. As you probably know, it does a pretty good job.
