I'm more bugged by these invasive Chinese stinkbugs:
Must have killed 20 so far this September. Hate to think how many sneaked indoors.

Well my 20 or so represents a very light infestation this time around. We seem to get them twice a year, and enough get inside that I use a portable vacuum cleaner to catch stinkbugs on drapery and window sills.
I have tried making "light traps" that lure them down funnels into water. No luck there.

20 or so? We had that in one single pile of the stinkers. I've never seen one here until now, much less 1000s and if you add em up past week its 1000's.

This has been a TERRIBLE year for us for bugs as well, but mainly the cockroaches seemed to be out in huge numbers. Since we have an old house, they can find plenty of small openings to get in, or if we left the door open.
The big ones, called water bugs, were always in the bathroom at night. Bobby got rid of most of the ant piles, but we still have some tiny ones showing up on the front porch and do not know where their nest is at.
Now, we are getting the stink bugs here, too, which seems to be a fall happening, around the same time as the mosquitoes are slowing down. It has also been a bad year for rats and mice because we have open fields around us, and lots of places for vermin to hide. Having the stray cats has helped a lot with the rat and squirrel situation though.
