    You could also feed stinkbugs to rabid raccoons! Or mail stinkbugs to unloved relatives and utter strangers.

    I just checked outside. Paper towel still there, but stanky bug gone. He either flipped himself right-side up and walked away or somebody came and ate him

    So, here I am at my mom's house in PA and I see one on the wall.

    Mom: here's paper towel, kill eeeeeeeeeeet.
    Me: what the hell? You're the mama! :evil:
    Mom: I'm too short! I can't reach eet (she is about 8 inches shorter than I am)
    Me: ok, but I can't smoosh eeeeet. It's stinky!
    Mom: I know, I know, just brush it off the wall and make it go outside.
    Me: hmpf. Fine.

    So, I go after it and IT FUCKING FLIES RIGHT AT ME

    queue "screaming like little girlie man" :oops:

    Me (hands paper towel back to mom): my work here is done. You are on your own.

    Had one of these fuckers dive-bomb me last week. Came flying into the living room and started circling around the ceiling light...made it hard as hell to get a bead on it but I finally whacked it. No stink but quite a freakout when something just starts buzzing around you in the middle of winter. How the hell did it get in the apartment is what I'm wondering.

    They're back like Die Hard With a Vengeance!

    Ha, not really. But I did kill one right now. Spring is in the air and so are stink bugs.

    I've had a pretty steady stream of stinkbungs since I posted this thread. In the fall I always find a bunch inside my air conditioner when I take it out, and there's been the dried corpse of one on one of my window screens all winter long I've been too lazy to remove. Thankfully, due to their non-aggressive disposition, my wife has no fear of them and doesn't mind removing them herself. I rather have stinkbugs than bedbugs or roaches any day.
