RECORD NUMBER OF STINK BUGS

Scientists are reporting a record number of stink bugs in the U.S. Due to a warm fall, we have “Literally trillions and billions of stinkbugs nationwide,” says Michael Raupp, an entomologist at the University of Maryland. Stink bugs thrive in heat, and feast on fruits, vegetables, and plants. Now that the seasons are changing, they are searching for a place to hibernate, which means they’re trying to move into your home. Experts recommend sealing your home as tight as a car door. A small bottle with soapy water makes a good trap, or vacuuming them up to freeze and use as compost. It’s also recommended to not crush them, because when you do, they – you know – stink.
* Or, set a 9-year-old boy on them, it’s right up his alley.
* How bad do they stink, on a scale of 1 to Megyn Kelly on the Today show?
* Soapy water? Why? So the stinkbugs can wash their pits?
* Finally, a reason not to blame it on the dog.
* Putrid insect invasion! This would have made a better disaster movie than “Geostorm”. But then, ANYTHING would have made a better disaster movie than “Geostorm”.
