Bad out my way in Frederick Co. They eat any plant it seems local gardeners, farmers, and orchards lost a fair amount due to stink bug damage. I'll take the 17 yr cicadas over the stink bugs. Supposedly 1/4 dawn dish soap to 3/4 water mix kills them. And a word of caution do not vaccuum them up they will make the vaccuum stink some kind of bad. Rumor has it they came in a cargo container shipped from China to the mid-atlantic area.

some local paper write-ups:
Return of the stink bugs

Stink bugs wreaking havoc on farmers, gardeners

Stink bug infestation goes beyond farmers
