Stink bugs invade western PA - video

I saw my first stink bug last year and really couldn't believe it as I had not seen one here before. Now I see mucho stink bugs. Guess they are here to stay.

They even made the local news broadcast.:

They arrived at my place about three years ago. I'm in Delaware. I am an organic grower. I found that by not growing cucurbits nearby really helps. Also, I trapped some adults by placing some shingles on the top of the mulch around my plants when heavy rain is expected. Next morning you go out and remove the shingles and they are prime for mass slaughter. I also have a lot of birds and that helps. This year I saw only a few. I hope it stays that way...
