I've lived in Idaho for over 30 years and have never once seen a stink bug, nor have I heard anyone mention them, but I found 2 in my house this morning. I'm guessing they arrived in a delivery box, but Google says there have been a couple of reports in the Treasure Valley.  Anyone have experience with these in Idaho?

I live in Central Idaho and see them outdoors occasionally, the brown ones. This year we will see many more due to our mild winter along with many others and Californians.

SW Idaho they are common from April-May to Oct.
Haven't seen many from Nov-March during the cold temps.

There are a lot in the Newport area. We had them bad in Republic from around 2000 on. They are newer arrivals in the Newport area. Seems like they are migrating east.

We get these ones seemingly all the time. They fuckin' reek.


Just a few weeks/months ago I noticed these ones. They smell exactly like almond extract. Honestly a pleasant smell.

That aroma is the extra Chaga's. As attractive as they are, don't go kissing them.

Yes, we have those up North, too.

I just found one in my hot tub this afternoon. No, I wasn't taking a dip at noon on a Monday, I was draining it so I don't have to deal with keeping it going when our highs drop into the singles or negatives.

I haven't seen any with firewood, but I cut my own wood.

Yes. I used to see them all the time as a kid. We lived in Southwest in a rural area.

Here in Northern Idaho we have them really bad, I kill a few each day in the house.

They're way worse in the fall.
