Missouri Biologist Explains Stink Bug Prevalence
A Natural History Biologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation explains the increase in stink bugs outside and in homes.
The Halyomorpha halys, also known as the stink bug, is an invasive insect from Asia. According to Lisa San Diego,
They mature through multiple nymph stages over the summer, and in the fall, the adults look for places to overwinter, which is why they end up in our houses.
Stink bugs target homes to overwinter in a hibernation-like state called diapause, where they don't eat or drink. San Diego recommends taking care of the bugs outside due to their smell, suggesting to
get a small Tupperware container or a bag, put them in the bag, and either crush them outside.
