[quote=Anonymous]Stink bugs aren't like roaches.  A house isn't "infested" with them.  They come in from the outside through cracks under doors and around windows, especially in the fall.  They are completely harmless and don't cause destruction or carry disease or bite/sting.  We bought our house a year and a half ago, and didn't see any stinkbugs during the touring, but that fall we noticed them coming in and at one point in October had about 200 of them one week in the house.  We've never had that much since, but I'd say we have about 15 or so in the house during the peak times.  We usually just leave them alone, though when we had the 200 of them we took a broom and swept them all outside.  We've tried weatherstripping which has helped, but our windows are drafty and they can get through small cracks.  They don't bother me at all.  They are only really annoying in the kitchen, where they tend to fly around when I'm trying to cook.  Other than that they're harmless and only mildly annoying.  We have several cats who like to eat most bugs but they won't touch the stinkbugs.[/quote]
