Where I am, autumn is when the spiders decide they want to be indoors

Spiders, giant spiders, stink bugs, the new type of stink bugs that somehow look grosser than the regular stink bugs, mice... We're absolutely at that stage right now.

Two humans and four half-way competent cats can't keep up.

I've devised so many stink bug removal devices it's not even funny. The first was a paper towel tube with a little bag on the other end. Now I've got a wide mouth jar with some detergent water in it. A fancy little spoon coaxes them inside. They die quickly.

What region are you in? Never seen a stink bug before thankfully

Ohio. They're invasive and only arrived in large quantities here about 6-8 years back. They're in the Chicago area as well.
