\n\ud83d\ude31 Why You Should Pay Attention<\/h2>\n
Stink bugs don\u2019t attack people or pets, but they can be a MAJOR nuisance.<\/p>\n
During colder months, they sneak into homes searching for warmth. They hide in curtains, under furniture, and even in your clothes drawers \ud83c\udfe0.<\/p>\n
If you grow fruits or vegetables, beware! These bugs feed on crops and can cause serious damage to your plants.<\/p>\n
When you crush or disturb them, stink bugs release a terrible odor that can stick to your hands, furniture, and fabrics for hours!<\/p>\n
