| Brown Stink Bugs Invade D.C.-area |
| 2009-10-01 |
| WASHINGTON - It's the invasion of the brown marmorated stink bug. I thought they called them "lobbyists." If you haven't seen one in or around your home or car yet - just wait.... Experts say the insects are from Asia and first appeared in Allentown, Pennsylvania back in 1996. They then spread throughout our area and beyond. There are no known predators, so the bugs continue to creep into homes through cracks and crevices. . . . The bugs don't bite but they're clearly a major nuisance. To keep them out of your house do the same things you'd do to make your home energy-efficient: weather strip, caulk, seal all the cracks. |

| #1 Hey! Who you calling brown? If you defend against them, you are obviously racist. |
