Found this weird shield-shaped bug crawling on my curtains in the middle of winter. It moves really slowly and has a speckled brown back. Is this going to bite or infest my house?

While finding a single stink bug indoors might seem alarming, it’s unlikely to lead to an infestation inside your home. Stink bugs do not reproduce indoors; they enter homes solely for shelter during the winter months. Their life cycle and reproduction occur outdoors in warmer weather.

However, if entry points are not sealed, multiple stink bugs may enter your home, leading to what feels like an infestation. It’s important to address how they are getting in to prevent more from making their way indoors.
