Brown Marmorated "Stink Bugs"

One very saturated took 45 mins. One sprayed sparingly flew away after five minutes. These are very resilient, obnoxious bugs.

Are they just isolated to certain areas? as the response seems sparse.

Are you sure they're not Western Conifer Seed Bug? There's been quite the bumper crop this year, enough so there was an article in the Union Leader.

Stink bugs, a recently arrived invasive species, are not unique to New England.

The summer of 2016 was particularly bad for them out west.

Couple of falls ago I had on obscene number of the buggers on the siding of my Nashua condo. I read that they collect like that to find a winter roost. In the spring many will find their way indoors. I hit them hard with raid for a few days and had them falling out of the siding in large numbers. They are tough but it really knocked them back. See them now in greatly reduced numbers a few years later.

They are all over our front sliders, inside and out. Been killing them for days.
