I'm not really looking forward to winter .....

But at least the bugs will be gone with the cold temps. Flies, stinkbugs, fruit flies will be gone, finally.

Same boat, nice to get rid of the nuisance pests. I'm afraid we might be in for a doozy. . .

They predict the same thing every year, but I guess they have to be right once in awhile.

Pretty sure it will get cold for sure!

Actually seeing less of them than in years past, so maybe they are on the way out.

Not here! Can't hardly walk across the yard! But windy and rainy here today so bug free for once.

Like many introduced species, they came into the country on plant material through ports on the East coast. As they move westward, the population lessens from where they started.

It's strange that they are so thick all of a sudden here . Like Ryan , can't hardly be outside without dragging 2 or 3 back in the house with you .
I've been leaving the covers off my grills and smokers , otherwise they collect in there .

Bah! I hate cold weather! I'd rather spray bug dope! LoL

We were covered up in them the last 2 or 3 years. Not seeing as many this year.

I mashed one with my hand one evening last week. Every time I took a drink of my beer, it tasted like a stinkbug smells for a little while.

One can hope. Seems like lots less of them here in GA this year as well.
Joro spiders may be on the way to you though lol. They are a new one here the last couple of years. Harmless to people but very prolific. All the big webs are a pain. Kinda cool unless you're afraid of spiders. They are big colorful ones. At least they don't stink!

I actually look forward to winter
Come December a bunch of SMF members will have a fantastic weekend.

The signs are there. Fighting mice trying to move indoors. The oaks produced a heavy load of acorns. Seen more woolly bears this year than most.

Hmm
Native stink bugs was very low this year. The massive invasive stink bug hasn't made it this far north.
The Box Elder Bugs (also native to our area) have been really bad this year.
