Our area in Washington Country MD has been overwhelmed with not a green stinkbug but a brownish/grayish type which covers mostly whitish surfaces.
They are hard to kill and after their "season" in warm weather they penetrate cracks in the homes and become a nuisance inside. Ideal removal is done by touching them with duck tape.
They also hide inside equipment housings, such as carburators and render them inoperative. Apparently blocking the air intake, the equipment will not start properly until totally cleaned out.
