Stink Bugs

Stink bugs or Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs are invasive pests that originate in Asia. These pests haven’t been in North America for long, but they’ve made a big impact already. The first stink bugs in the United States were found in Allentown, Pennsylvania in the mid-1990s. Since then, they’ve been found in many other states, including Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. They are either half an inch or three-quarters of an inch. Plus, they have a triangular-shaped back so they’re easy to identify.
