Watch Out for Odorous Bugs!
January 15, 2015 by
It can be frightening to spot a bug inside your home.
But what if that bug also smells really bad?
The stink bug is an oval-shaped insect that releases an unpleasant odor when it’s threatened.
Usually less than an inch long, this odorous (see definition and hear pronunciation below) pest can also cause significant damage to plants.
If you ever spot a stink bug, you may want to think twice before squashing it. You can usually avoid the bug’s smelly defense by scooping it up with a plastic bag and releasing it outside!
