Was visiting friends in Tn. and noticed stink bugs all over the side of my MH. Also have killed at least 40 inside.

We found some more stinkbugs this week that we picked up in TN last Sept 2014.

I hope it works for you.
Stink bugs are not an issue here, right now it is flies and floating spiders.

 They are not as bad here this year a couple of years ago we had over 2 cups full that we got out of the inside of the camper. So we started leaving the camper at Myrtle Beach in the Fall to avoid them. They are not nearly as bad there as they are in our area of Southern Virginia
Be careful many like to vacuum them up but they will ruin a vacuum cleaner ...... Another fine import from China ........... They are all over the Mid Alantic some areas more so than others......... Be aware they are coming your way.......

We had them in our unit last year. We purchased a four pack of Hot Shot No-Mess foggers at Lowes. Worked for us.

Since our camper gets below freezing, I just throw out the carcasses in the spring.

Don't know when or where we got them, but we've been battling them for the last 2 years, just a few in the camper and the screened in back porch on our house. We've decided to try the suggestion Ford Idaho posted of getting a pan and put some water and dish soap and a light and see how it works as soon as we see one in either the camper or on the porch. Sure hope it works.

Depending on how you killed them, that may have been your biggest mistake. Don't ever crush a stink bug. If you crush it, they leave their scent all over and it just attracts more stink bugs. Even if you find dead ones, don't crush them. Seems counter intuitive.

Never have crushed them, catch them and put in a plastic bag and make a present of them to the local trash disposal company.

We had them in our line for the water heater. We had flames shooting out. Burned them all up. Then they got in our check valve for black flush tank and caused a flood. They are disgusting. So far this year they aren't that bad. Maybe Trump will send them all back to China where they belong. Another good reason to keep jobs in the USA

If you upset or step on one the odor is something you will not soon forget............... They are usually brown & ugly
From Wikipedia, the stink bug, is an insect in the family Pentatomidae that is native to China, Japan and Taiwan.[2] It was accidentally introduced into the United States, with the first specimen being collected in September 1998.[3] The brown marmorated stink bug is considered to be an agricultural pest,[4] and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in U.S. orchards.[5]
Do a google search not like the love bugs..... They will eventually come your way........ 
They were not in this area a few years ago now a super pest.... even Virginia Tech has been studying on how to get rid of them.

We are getting them here in South Jersey now. They're on the windows trying to get in for the winter. If there's a crack they will find it.
