"We're seeing more stink bugs, because it was a good year for stink bugs."
Wow. So enlightening.🙄
The guy acted like he just woke up 😂!!
GOD this always happens,who else feels itchy in their hair and everywhere? nope
just everyone,ok
Not from stinkbugs they are completely harmless. They will walk right onto your finger and let you take them outside. They almost never try to fly away, they are pretty chill just also pretty annoying. I hate bugs but these guys dont creep me out at all. Not like a roach or something like that.
Haaaaaaaa sooo funny😂
Don't know so I don't have hair any more.
These dont last long in my house. I have a phobia of em but it doesn't stop me from catching every one of these disgusting flying tanks.
I hate those things
CurbThePain me too but I’m to afraid to even look at it
I'm too scared to catch them I hope they fucking die fuck them
@@derengo1 right? why do they even exist ffs
@@thebigpaff i know
My left ear enjoyed this
Mine did to
I just wrapped one in tape and sunk him in super hot water... He flew into my eye twice, so he had it coming.
Josh Gray 😂
Haaaaaaaa your funny
@@wookieelee38 well I catch all mine in bottles and close the lid on them and let them soffocate in there own stank
Just burn it alive

I am so glad to see that everyone everywhere are having a problems with stink bugs. I have never seen them until the last couple of months.
They are an invasive species from Asia, first appeared on the east coast about 20 years ago and have gradually been making their way west.
I lived in the same house for 20 yrs. And never seen one stink bug until this year. When I say over 100 of these bugs were in my house, there is no exaggeration
I live in the heart of the city (Chicago) and as I said, I've never seen these, EVER, until last year when they swarmed in thru gaps around my window A/C. Where the heck did they COME from?
AbsentWithoutLeaving ....they must have just hit the Midwest, I'm 30 miles south of Chicago
40 miles north of Chicago here. I've seen a few here and there the last few years, but the last couple warm days they were everywhere. Not bothering anybody, just on the inside and outside of my patio screen doors. Like cicadas and ladybugs, maybe they just have a "cycle" and this year was their peak year.
Got the same problem overe here in Europe. It startet about 2 years ago.
Me too, its incredible, its the first time im seeing so many...
One flew in my cheerios once, that was war.
Lol
don't care if they stink, if they touch my cheerios they catching these hands
I put them in a bottle of piss Lmafooooo
One was on my led lights and broke them
I wouldn't finish those Cheerios.
Who the hell wants them in their freezer?What was that guy smoking?I like spraying them with carb.or brake cleaner outside and watching them DIE!
i hate stink bugs.
Sarah Gregory sameee
Stink bugs are disgusting
Yeah they stink
From my experience about any stinkbugs I can rightfully say I have a stinkbug fobia. I hate them more than anything.
I am not scared of snakes, spiders but these nasty thingys!
Same!
Saku Raitonen Yess I scream everytime I see one
They are very harmless, but invaders must be dealt with. ;c This video is mostly pointless though, just throw them into a jar with a lid and toss'em outside. Putting them in water or injuring them can startle them into stinking. It's not much different than finding a lady bug or butterfly in your home. Harmless but it is in a place it doesn't belong.
Spiders on the other hand can give you a skin rotting bite in your sleep that needs cut out of your leg in the ER before it spreads and they leave super glue webs all over your home that can't be washed off. (I really hate Brown Recluses). Sneks are cute.
Wolf Doggie I can’t even kill them I’m hiding under my cover at 10pm tryin to stay away fro the one that’s been flying around my 2 windows for 30 mins I just ignore now
@@Liddybuggy dude yes yes yes
When I catch them I cut them in half and feed them to my fish.
Lol I trap them in an empty bottle and shake em to the 7 page muda
Modern problems require modern solutions.
I was sleeping and heard a buzzing noise (in my sleep) but woke up when I felt something cold and hard hit my cheek. I woke up and just *knew* instantly what it was. I screamed and swatted it off and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I HATE those things. HATE them. One year, they were all over the blinds in the living room 🤢
The past two years we’ve had them bad here where I live in TN.
Same! I live in TN too and the stink bugs are horrible😤😤
I live in SC, this is my first year seeing them.
They are all around my front door, but they are coming in thru my double patio doors.
I've just been grabbing them with my trusty yellow rubber glove.
No bad smell so far, but they are very annoying.😡
Use Blue Dawn with water in a spray bottle. It does work, you just have to spray them alot. Blue Dawn is no joke!
Never seen them at our home until this year, wth where did they all come from ? Last year it was another bug I never seen . even -50 degree temps wind chill 3 days ago and today 3 those dam things.
I get them now, it’s spring not autumn
They are waking up and can easily be ushered outside if its warm enough for them to survive.
Shit I just flush one down the toliet this morning
Me too
Live in the lacey/ Olympia area of Washington state.
Recently have been seing these EVERYWHERE. Infesting schools in my area, and spreading disease. Gonna share this, thanks guys
They aren't spreading diseases despite their acrid defense smell. Only the bigger changa ( kissing) bugs that resemble stink bugs cause illness in humans.
I FOUND A SOLUTION . Light up an/some electric fly killer (blue light) in your house in the spring and in autumn (24h/24h) (7d/7d)
Get a lot of these around fall. Trapped a few of them in a jar last year. I was actually amazed how long they lived. I think I had them in that jar close to a month before I said fu and threw them outside.
Put gasoline in that jar. That'll get them.
I like his conservation emphasis!
Is there a tarantula on the desk?
I can't stop just staring at it, wondering when it will strike.
Eather tarantula than stink 😡😡😡
Girlfriend: my parents arent home what do you wanna do about it
Me: 1:30
LMAO
Dude was just chillin on my Xbox controller when I was about to play Mortal Kombat. That’s crossing the line
Could have been a new challenger
Volume too low here.
One of these mfs went in MY EAR!
I just put em in a paper towel crush them and then soak it to make sure they don't survive and surprisingly they don't let off the smell
^^^ this
But they stink?
They ain't going in my freezer. Are you high dude? Gross
Gross😝 Put em in your freezer?? Ewwww, down the toilet it goes😐
Maria Willig why not crish them and throw them in the garbage?
They're like the perpetual turd that won't flush. I flushed one 3 times and there he still was. They may be terrible swimmers but they float like the ol fat lady at the local pool.
@@1TopGunPaintballer If you crush them it would go worse because of the awful smell..
@@1TopGunPaintballer If you crush them be prepared for a strong, pungent cilantro-like odor to fill the air. Now if you like cilantro (I do) then the odour may not bother you. But if you dislike cilantro then don't crush them.
@TopGunPaintballer you dont throw them in the garbage after killing them cause they'll make a room stink you HAVE to flush them down the toilet after killing them!
My window somehow opened a few months ago and I didn’t know until a few days ago. Thank god they’re only in one part of my room (used to be 2 rooms) so I sleep on a chair in the part they aren’t in. I’ve found over 32 within 2 weeks every time I find 2 my dad kills them then checks all my blinds and curtains sees no more than more show up.
Up until last year I have never seen a stink bug in my house. I have seen several now
A year ago i found at least 26 stink bugs hiding behind my son's bedroom blind's and some behind the pillows, he slept downstairs for 3 days.
I recommend not using an A/C, But You should instead use a Fan that blows cool air by your bed. they are attracted to heat most of the time.
Or You can trap them in a large Bottle with a large cap and keep the stink bugs in there with half the container or bottle and cap it off for a week, it will develop a nasty stench overtime and you should throw the water and stink bugs out the window because stinkbugs will flock to the stench because stinkbugs are naturally attracted to another stink bugs nasty smell.
I put Listerene in the bottle, usually an orange juice bottle you buy from a vending machine, put the lid on the bottle with the Listerine in it. They don't last long.
Looks at stink bug: Slowly starts closing dunkin donuts bag
I get toilet paper and flush em down the freaking toilet, but they keep comin back
Only good bug is a dead bug. #rememberBuenosAires #wouldyouliketoknowmore
It is summer and I am inundated with stink bugs! Your info is all about winterizing! I have them in the garages/sheds! Summer time! Found one in my hair after dropping dozens in hot soapy water. Found another in the bathroom & another on the windowsill and dozens on the windows of our sheds. They are old sheds.One has a fireplace/ along with an attachment for a wood stove. They are all over. Recently BGE cut down falling branches and trees in our back yard right near the sheds, which I think is the reason for the infestation. I thought we brought over birds that eat them to keep them from infesting our homes and garages. They are originally from China. I've never seen them this bad since the first year they hit, what happened to the birds? Climate change, covid-19, oh yes stay indoors! Live with the stink bugs by all means. HELP!
1:31 huh uh huh uh huh...
Whyfreezer? Isn’t drowning them enough?
Wth they come to houses in winter and autumn but every single summer they come to my house WTH
Can you spray them with raid? Will they spray if you do?
One bit me today! And I instinctively tried to pry it off and threw it to the ground, but I can't get rid of the smell on my neck and hands!
They don't bite/sting though. There are predatory type of shield bugs that actually have a painful attack.
The ones that feeds on crops and fruits and plants won't attack you with anything else except if they feel threatened they'll release that oder that makes me gag.. It's so disgusting. I can't think anything that smells worse than stinkbug
They most definitely do bite. One was in my damn bed and bit me. It stung like hell and left a large welt.
Use lemon juice
PUT IT IN APPLE CIDER VINEGAR IT DESERVES IT
Think before you stink.
That stink bug trap you made out of a water bottle would also work for Japanese beetles only I would put some soapy water in there so they drown the minute they hit. The soap breaks up the water tension and they can't swim. Before I started adding water soap to the water in a bucket Irish music to capture Japanese beetles they could swim for days. And after they died a couple days later they can stink like heck dead bugs stink so as soon as they're dead don't them on your compost pile good source of nitrogen
I couldn't figure out why I kept getting these until I found a nest outside on my balcony. They were underneath my piano outside and I had to toss my piano but ever since then I haven't seen em
I killed em with raid
Toss your piano? Hardly any place on earth outside is good for a piano. It must have been a Kimball spinet. Playing Liszt's fiery etudes whilst exterminating stinkbugs.
@@echodelta9 it was a digital piano, I had kept. I had separated the piano keys from the bottom stand. The bottom stand part was outside and the stink bugs made a nest underneath there.
They’re body if you look really close has an interesting pattern to it. I think that’s about the only thing they have going for them lol
Joshua Nesbitt they are pretty friendly too. They never bother me one bit. They don't destroy any property and just want some warmth. Don't mind sharing my garage with them. Will put them in their so they are safe and not gonna stink up my house if something like my cat startled them
THEY LOOK LIKE A STINK!
I was killing them with a fly swatter but it stunk the room up when I hit them. I catch them with toilet paper and flush them most of the time. I’ve sealed up our house. The sneak in when we open a door.
Stink bugs in your home means fall / winter is on the way
Jewel Melendez I have stink bugs in my home and it is spring
LOL they're waking up. They've been there since last fall, dormant.
Where the heck did the bugs even come from. They've been getting into one room of my the last few years.
This guys a nut - why is he so intent on composting stink bugs?
Billy Loughridge just crush them and tgrow them in trash. Why waste so much water?
TopGunPaintballer cuz they smell bad.
Short answer: because he's afraid. He's afraid that some environmentalist/conversationalist or insect activist is going to come after him. Good example of the consequence of Tyranny, you become a slave to the Stink Bug.
Principles I'd say.
What they really ought to be doing is getting rid of this invasive pest. Has no predators and is destroying food crops like crazy!!
Use a peppermint/water spray bottle and spray around your the entrance of your home or wherever you see them
Susan Larson did the peppermint help keep them away for you ???
remember when birds existed? they would eat the bugs.
I hate these goddamn things
The birds enjoy the stink SYTNECH?.
I seriously don't need stink bugs in my freezer.... anybody hungry ??
Is it just me or when I kill em there’s no stink
Great info thank you
Can I feed it to my tarantula
One question, and its very serious, and i have no idea how to deal with this, i live in apartment that on 5th floor , and its kinda high you know, so basically when its night time, there is 4-5 bugs hanging on my window, and sometimes they even get in. trust me, every single day, at least 5 of them, and they dont go out. Sometimes if its day time, they come and go... Is there anything that i can spray window with ?
soapy water, i just killed one for the first time, like it died in 30 sec, it may take longer but its dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No need to.harm unnecessarily or worse to enjoy torturing living creatures. Simply spray the outside of the house and windows with diluted peppermint oil in water to repel them. Just pick up any bugs that get inside in tissue or push them into a cup and put them outside under a few big leaves, a piece of loose thick cardboard or piece of old blanket out of the weather. They'll stay outside and others will join them to sleep through winter and fly away in spring if they survive hibernation. They just struggle and fear death from the cold as humans do and are attracted to warm light, heat, and a little moisture. They won't bite ot hurt people and do feel fear, hence their awful spray when scared. There's never a need to cause another creature terror or torture or take its life when you have another kinder option that won't cause needless suffering. They are created as they are, and bear no malice toward anyone.
Lol at 1:28. “I always recommend, get the cock out”
Not going in my freezer. When I see one I get a piece of duct tape and press it on to pick it up, then i fold the tape over completely covering it but not crushing it. Then I put it outside in a place I reserve for them.
They keep coming in through my chimney
Devin Atkinson light a fire
Use Blue Dawn with water in a spray bottle. It does work but you will have to spray alot! Blue Dawn is no joke
But the fire will get the stink dtrong no?
FYI. A dead bug attacks more. I would never put them in a compost pile. I think he is nuts
I’ve started to get stink bug since late 2018
I flush them and it feels great when I do! I also burn them in my burn barrel.
vacuuming works best!!
I always look for them after I use the bathroom and flush them together
Two in one
Thanks that little trap works
I wonder if buy American means anything now?
I can never smell them I live in pa where there’s around 20 in the house all winter and my cat plays with them all the time never smell them much. But this trick will help great vid
I remember a stink bug came into my dads house so I got tweezers and grabbed it and started to drown it and then I threw it in the sink hole and my brother turned on the garbage disposal.
Im glad tou removed the stink from ykhr stink house
please help how do i get rid them in my house awful things
I hear they are cutting down on chemtrails in certain states. It may be the exosystems reaction/recovery. Earth fixing itself.
I pick them up and squeeze them to death. I squeeze until insides come out, very satisfying. Dr. Pimple Popper has some competition
I feed them to my turtles.
Do the turtles enjoy the stink? STENch?
My mother in law was making her famous chicken soup one day unfortunately she decided to have a few wines and pick some greens for the soup a aphid made it in too the soup step son chewed it yuck a aphid he spat it out said it taste like it smells
He doesn’t put them in a compost pile...he kills them and throws them in the trash.
I'm not putting bugs in my freezer
Yes he wil stjnk the freezer 😡😡😡
MARYLAND!!
they’re in my house and it’s summer. i’ve never been bothered by bugs but these bugs just scare me. i don’t know what it is about them. they all need torture and death. it’s 2021 too and my friends house has a lot too
dont forget, they also come in through AC 😡😡
A real broadcast station makes a CZcams video without sound almost, minus 13dB. I CAN"T HEAR IT. The inverted bottle top doesn't work because they just climb across the narrow space. I like to catch one in a puff of toilet paper and let it try to get it's head out and then break the head back (green guts come out) it can't think to stink therefore it can't stink! Chemical warfare: catch one and in the toilet it goes. Now pee on it, have fun till the stink gets bad then flush twice I have seen 'em come back up!
I would not compost them i think they are toxic
Do they bit? I got a bit on my have a bit.
RHE STINKS BIT?!
They completely freak when I shopvac them up they go on a “stink o thon” and I have to air it out for days haaaaaaa
they are the worst stink!!
Could’ve made an axe out of that.
they make a good snack or on a salad with bacon bits
Are jorking???
I just put them in a cup and move them to the garage. So they stay warm and don't get killed by the cats. I don't see the need to kill them, they are harmless to us. Don't bite. Don't even smell unless you fuck with them. Cute little bugs. Kinda friendly.
1:30
hes worrien about wasten water and thus suggest dont flush them down the toilet bump that im flushing them down the toilet
This guy's nuts don't put it in you're compost get a paper towel and throw it in the trash
Man keeps stink bugs in his freezer for 2 weeks
Ghe freezer musr stink like a stink!!@
Don't flush them? We have no water problem here in southern Illinois. I'll flush em!
Wow, for a bug expert.... Seems kinda barely helpful. Seal up your house, yeah I bet most people thought of that. Then the interviewer has a real strategy, a mini vac. How about some kind of passive trapping technique? Attractants etc. Like with all the other kinds of bugs! All he's got is drop them in soapy water chasing them around your house?!?
Why not use chicken
ITS CHICKEN LOL
@@Dina-qk4qk you are correct
@@ZE308AC I love chicken but never for the stinks 1
@@Dina-qk4qk okay, sound good to me. I wounder if the chicken will have bad breath after he eat a few stink bugs?
@@ZE308AC Oh tjpight you fed chicken to the stinks haha if they like it they can eat thr stinks but i sure as hell wouldnt eat any stinks
People love to hate bugs. They want to kill them all, but bugs are an important part of life.
True, but these are an invasive species in the US. They destroy certain crops and have no natural predators in the US. In Asia where they came from there is a parasitic wasp that keeps them under control.
Like what kristin said they are PAIN IN THE ass and i hate them!! i had 200 on my roof a year ago and ever since if i ever see oje it will suffocate in its pwn stink!!!
They just plain stink 😆...
