If the eggs hatch, tiny stink bug nymphs can come out. They usually look like very small baby bugs, often darker or more colorful than expected. They are not usually harmful to people, but they can become annoying if they spread around the house.
Stink bugs are mostly a nuisance pest indoors. They do not damage furniture the way termites do, and they do not feed on people. Their biggest issue is exactly what their name suggests.
They can release a strong unpleasant smell when they are crushed or threatened.
That is why smashing them is usually not the best idea.
If you find a cluster like this on clothing, the safest thing to do is take the item outside before removing it.
Do not shake it wildly inside the room.
Do not crush the eggs with your fingers.
And do not just toss the shirt back into the laundry basket with everything else.
A simple way to remove them is to use a piece of tape, a paper towel, or a small card to lift or scrape the egg cluster off the fabric. Put the eggs into a sealed plastic bag and throw it away outside.
After that, wash the shirt as you normally would. If the fabric allows it, warm water can help clean the area, but always check the care label first so you do not ruin the clothing.
If the sticky spot remains, a little laundry detergent or stain remover can help break it down before washing.
It is also a good idea to check nearby clothes, bedding, curtains, and the area around windows. You do not need to panic, but it is worth making sure there are no more egg clusters hidden somewhere close.
If you recently brought laundry in from outside, left clothes near a window, or had a bug crawling around the room, that might explain how it happened.
To prevent this from happening again, check window screens, seal small gaps around doors, and avoid leaving clothes on the floor near windows or plants. If you see adult stink bugs inside, remove them gently instead of crushing them.
A vacuum can work, but if you vacuum up stink bugs, empty the vacuum soon after, because the smell can linger.
The strange thing is that stink bugs are not usually scary when you see one crawling on a wall.
But finding their eggs on your shirt?
