Brown marmorated stink bugs are invasive pests that are native to Asia. They’ve been living in the United States since the mid-1990s. In 1996, the first stink bugs in the United States were discovered in Allentown, Pennsylvania. As the name implies, stink bugs can release a foul odor from the small glands near their thorax. Stink bugs can reach three-quarters of an inch, but many are smaller.
