   That is a major plus of colder weather.  I noticed last night that those darn   
   stink bugs are trying to find warm places to hide for the winter (window   
   areas, under siding, etc).     
      
   Even worse than them are the Sakata Killers.  We had a large nest of them   
   living in one our flower gardens (in the dirt) behind one of our rock   
   retaining walls.  They were destroying the entire area and those are the   
   largest bees I have ever seen.
