Title: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: Jay on June 17, 2011, 08:35:52 PM I've killed probably 10 of these evil, foul smelling creatures in the last month or so. I hate them. >:( ;D
Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: rab2591 on June 17, 2011, 08:56:37 PM Consider yourself very lucky. The record for me was finding around 20 of them in my bedroom in one day last year...on average I would find 5 - 10 stink bugs in my house every day. (I learned to avoid this problem this year by properly installing insulation all around my bedroom window AC unit.)
Stink bugs around where I live are terrible...Actually, I just saw one crawling on my bedspread not but 30 minutes ago. And I don't kill them, I release them back outside...partly because I am part hippie...mostly because they live up to their name and they wreak when you kill/annoy them lol Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: Jay on June 17, 2011, 09:31:21 PM I think that perhaps it's time for you to move. :lol :p
I have this weird phobia/OCD thing with bugs. I have to kill them before I put them in the garbage. If I don't kill it, I constantly wonder if they could crawl out again. Of course, that would mean a little tiny bug opening the huge garbage lid. I know...I'm weird. :spin Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: rab2591 on June 17, 2011, 09:55:28 PM Haha I know where you're coming from...my job requires me to be outdoors most of the workday so bugs are a constant annoyance (I just get used to them) - but a house is supposed to be a sterile environment and I get fairly ticked off when I see a bug crawling along the floor or flying across a room...especially when I am eating.
Moving wasnt out of the picture last year lol...however I fixed the problem ...and that stink bug that was just in my bedroom is the first one i've seen in a month or two...thankfully. Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: Jay on June 17, 2011, 10:33:35 PM Nope, I think I've jinxed you. I hope you don't feel any bugs crawling on your forehead tonight. >:D ;D
On an unrelated note, what is your signature on here from? Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: Mike's Beard on June 18, 2011, 06:07:42 AM If an insect lands on me I have to kill it. And I have every right to. If I landed on an animal roughly 6,000 times my size and started crawling all over it, especially it's face I'd expect it to squish me too.

Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: stack-o-tracks on June 18, 2011, 11:45:40 AM I don't recall seeing any stinkbugs around here either. 8)
Lots of aphids all over my tomato plants though. >:( Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: bgas on June 18, 2011, 11:46:50 AM We don't get stink bugs in Blighty thankfully, what do they smell like? Probably because you've already been blighted. Title: Re: Invasion Of The Stink Bugs Post by: Jay on June 18, 2011, 07:19:58 PM We don't get stink bugs in Blighty thankfully, what do they smell like? Stink bugs have a unique smell of their own, just like skunks. Be thankful you have never encountered it. ;D |
