Does anyone here have them? OMG, they are everywhere. Every time the door is opened they come in, they literally hangout on the perimeter of doors and windows. That smell they give off when they feel threatened is very distinctive.

I've never lived anywhere that had them but earwigs used to be EVERYWHERE when I lived in Sacramento.  A friend told me about a time when she and her brother were kids and he ended up covered in them when she pulled the garage door down.  UGH

We called those things earwigs and pincher bugs, never stink bugs, now skunk cabbage was another thing.

You're right, Roo, that's exactly what they look like. Filthy bastards.

I'm dealing with it, it could be so much worse, it could be those damn monster spiders seeking warmth. They aren't the size of a Huntsman but those friggin' wolf spiders still make me want to burn down the house.

I have quite a few of those around too, I thought they only stunk if you squished them.

I lived in a house that had a box elder bug problem, they look similar to stink bugs. They just crawled around and didn't really do anything. At night I noticed they would go towards a light so I would turn on a lamp at the opposite end of the room, but then sometimes one or 2 would attack my monitor.

Thank you for that insight, Mirah. It was very significant and all of us were benefited from reading it
