The bugs can be found in high concentrations, sometimes several hundred per square yard. And they become more difficult to control once they become adults.
Adult stink bugs are also good flyers and are highly attracted to lights. If outdoor lighting becomes a stink bug hangout, Knight said homeowners should install amber- or yellow-colored light bulbs that are less alluring to the insects.
He also suggested homeowners try using an insecticidal soap and over-the-counter products containing carbaryl to control stink bug numbers.
