Entomologists at the University of Georgia ask Georgians to track the presence of the brown marmorated stink bug.  It's classified as a nuisance pest in Georgia, but could be declared an agricultural pest. 

Paul Guillebeau, an entomologist at the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences estimates on any given day, there are about two dozen stink bugs in a Georgia home. 

"You could spray them, but then you'd have dead stink bugs to deal with," he tells Morris News Service.  "It really becomes tedious.  They only stink if you handle them and they don't do any damage, but they are annoying." 

With the advent of warmer weather, the bugs are emerging to search for food and water.  They are able to slip through the tiniest crack to get inside. 

Entomologists fear the stink bug could pose a threat to Georgia's cotton and blueberry crops.
