Stink bugs are attracted to light and they will find their ways in to your home during long summer nights when veranda, porch and decks lights are on and once doors are being constantly opened and closed they will make their way into your home.
Places like houses, barns, basements and so forth provide much needed warmth and shelter from things such as rain, cold and other harsh elements that can greatly affect stink bugs. Stink bugs will go to great lengthens to get out of cold and harsh weather and they will work very hard to get in to your house. They will work their way in and around window and door frames, they will crawl up to the attic or space vent, under roofs and under roof shingles or they will try to sneak into the garage or basement. Once they are inside your home they go into hibernation mode and they will go into state of suspended animation and wait for winter to pass.
This is not always the case though and once inside your home they may be attracted to the warmth and they may not go into hibernation mode and they will not go into a state of animation. They will become and remain very active through out winter. Try not to touch them, disturb them, mishandle them or threat or annoy them in way because they will produce or release a very nasty smell and there are some species that inflict a very small but pin like bite.
