Last week, I declared that Peak-Bed bug had been hit when the Bed Bug Summit 2010 took place in Chicago. You know about Peak-Oil right? Well, I'm certain that Peak-Bed Bug was reached last week.
Time Magazine posted an article earlier today with the following headline:
Home Turf War: Stinkbugs Are Closing in on Bedbugs' Territory
Bedbugs are so five minutes ago. There's a new intruder infesting the Middle Atlantic states: the stinkbug. Seeking warmth for the winter, they're crawling into homes, offices and hotels, and hitching rides in trucks, buses, even your handbag. Unlike the bedbug, the stinkbug, thankfully, doesn't bite. To humans, they're actually harmless; they don't spread disease or destroy your property.
Will Stink Bugs cause the same manic fever that Bed Bugs did this year? Doubtful. Stink Bugs can't live without eating for a year and they can't lay eggs indoors. Stink Bugs only reproduce and lay eggs outdoors on foliage. Why are Stink Bugs called such? Well, it's because they stank up the joint when frightened or squished between an exterminator's thumb and forefinger.
