I live near Pittsburgh PA, and I just saw a stink bug, possibly the first one I have seen all year. In the last couple of years they have been a major pest. Now they seem to be mostly gone.
Where did all the stink bugs go?

The stink bugs have been heading south and west, first detected in your state, near Allentown, Pennsylvania, back in 1998. They started showing up 2010 here in Indiana and are still very thick. They've hit 34 states so far.
Here's a map showing current detection areas.
