My high-school friend Eric is one of the few people who actually gets excited about stink bugs -- but that stands to reason, considering that his Exton company, nth Solutions, makes stink bug traps. Here's his response to last week's item about how we were getting off relatively lightly so far this year.
"It's still waaaaaaaay too early for the little fellas! Peak indoor infestations begin closer to the end of March and will last through mid-May. The ones coming out now are responding to convection heating of the walls and attics, but most will remain dormant (overwintering) for at least a few more weeks. Here's hoping for a banner year and LOTS of trap sales!!!"
Thanks for that, Eric.
And don't forget about the stink bug sticker made by Kennett's own Hal Lewis! The "Stik-a-Bug," available at Hal's State Street auto service shop, is a long-handled device with a sticky pad that traps the insects.
This post really bugs me!!!
