How many stink bugs are there? Billions!

How many stink bugs are there? At this point no one knows, experts say it could be within the billions because these bugs can lay at least 100-500 eggs in a seasonal cycle. They usually lay about 20-30 eggs on the underside of leafs, and are strongest in the Fall and Spring.

Also, Since these bugs are not native to the U.S. they have NO KNOWN NATURAL PREDATORS! So they are free to populate and rub their brown marmorated bodies all over your clothes, sheets, crawl in your babies crib and hide in your hair all day because you won’t kill them on sight.

Experts like, Steve Jacobs a Senior Extension Associate at the Penn State Department of Entomology says these bugs originated from China (Yea, blame the Chinese) and are native to the asian countries(I guess, they have tapped out the excuse that- “African American” males are the source of the nation’s problems).

And if you think we are being a little dramatic, keep in mind when Napoleon marched to Russia in 1812 to “kick some butt” his forces were largely defeated by lice carrying typhus or the fact that many believed Alexander the Great died of malaria-carried by mosquitoes or maybe the fact that the BUBONIC PLAGUE is carried by fleas-concerned yet?

Check Out the Encyclopedia of Entomology. Although it is not “believed”, that these bugs carry diseases- keep in mind these experts descended from the same people who believed Hitler, in terms of modern day quick stardom and popularity, was comparative to the “Bieber” of Germany. In others, words his success was fleeting-yea right!

America, Stink Bugs Natural predator needs to be an American equipped with a fly swatter, insecticide and a sheer will to defeat these bugs one beat, smack, punch and squash at a time.
