Where do stink bugs lay eggs?

Female stink bugs lay eggs on the underside of plant leaves. They produce as many as 30 to 100 eggs at a time and place them in rows of a dozen or more. The stink bug eggs are barrel-shaped and resemble small pistachio nuts. The eggs vary in color depending on the species of stink bugs.

How do you find a stink bug nest?

Check around window frames, door frames, vents, eaves and on walls that get the most sun exposure. Stink Bugs like to squeeze into cracks, crevices to find their way indoors. Some of the most common entry points include voids, false ceilings, attics, folds in drapes, and other places that go undisturbed.
