Those Asian ones, that look like RG's picture, were coming in our house here (and everyone elses too) all winter long. They got really bad during Feb. and Mar. Recently, though, we have had temps. in the mid to high 80's for about a week...they all seem to have gone out now. They did drive you crazy and...you're right..they have an awful odor when smashed! Been chilly the last couple of days, but they have not come back, and I pray they do not! One day last fall a couple of us got swarmed by them, like you wouldn't believe, while we were golfing. They were all over us, the golf cart...everything! Creepy! You couldn't get away from them...a mini Alfred Hitchcock!! It was only on one hole, too. Seems to me, also, that this has been a worse problem in recent years--much more than a few years ago. Do they have cycles?
