I have a base in Oregon and it is becoming a major problem with stink bugs. I was driving to the Southwest and I guess I brought at least 50 stink bugs from Oregon. Some say they also becoming issue in sounthwest.
I try to catch them every time I see while im driving, and it’s not safe anymore at this point.
If anybody has the same problem ( I’m sure I’m not the only one.)
Or, I’m trying to seal out where they come from.
Where do they mainly get in from ?
How can I seal it ?

We have a million in Virginia too, moved to Houston back in December, and we have them here too but nothing like Virginia, but once a week since then I have one crawling up my windshield!
 
Do you think they get in from the air vent ? Or crawl in from the window seals?
 
If you're parking your LC outside, maybe a car cover will help keep those bugs out. If you are trying to catch bugs inside your car while you're driving, i don't recommend that at all. Buy a cheap portable vacuum and keep it in the passenger seat so you can suck up those stinkers when you see them.
 
They have been dormant over the winter inside your car and are now trying to get out. Don’t do anything to seal them out until fall. If the car is parked outside keeping windows and doors shut is about all you can do.
 
We have the Western Conifer-Seed bug which is a cousin of the Stink Bug. After years of trying to keep them out of our house....Now I just grab the Dyson.
So yeah, I think RoundRock_Cruiser has the best suggestion, maybe get a little handheld to keep in your LC?
