Packaging, Pallets, and Shipping Crates
Sadly, that prediction came with the news that the stink bugs came and then never left because they established themselves fast. Since they move indoors during the winter, they can arrive in pallets, packaging, and shipping crates.
Thrive in Warm Weather
The insects don’t do well in colder climates, so they go into shipping crates to sleep during winter (diapause). When the cold weather is over, though, all bets are off. They enjoy warm weather and thrive in it.
