Bedbugs

Hello, my name is Kat and I live in Bakersfield California in the country. Recently I have found small skinny black bugs that smell really bad when crushed. They are really annoying me because at night if I lift the covers there is always one or two crawling around. What can they be? And more importantly, how can I kill them? They might live in the cotton fields around my house or in the alfalfa. There are almond trees too. Any help would be appreciated!

Not so good Kat. They sound like Bedbugs which will bite.

    Hello, I am another Kat and I live in Chowchilla, CA in an almond orchard out in the country and have been inundated with these stinky bugs that sometimes fly. They even smell when no one touches them. When it rained they came inside in droves and are always here for the last month. How do we get rid of them? Are they the same bug as Kat’s?

    Hi Kat,
    This is a really old post and there were no photos, so it is pure speculation on our part. You may have some species of Stink Bug, possibly a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
