We have not been hit with them yet this year. We get hit hard every year at about the time the soybeans come out of the fields. It has been too wet to combine much this year. In previous years we have had to sweep ourselves into the out buildings. Sometimes the floor has them an inch high for the first five or ten feet into the building. Besides that, they stink. They story I have heard about how they were introduced here is that a government agency introduced them in order to control aphids in the soybeans. Not sure if that is true, but there seems to be no natural enemy to them.
