    Anybody find bugs inside the car? I've busted at least 8 stink bugs now inside the car. My 2017 Two Eco never had a bug problem. I can't imagine how they are getting inside the car either. I'm hoping this doesn't become an invasion.

    Were stink bugs always a problem in your area? They seem adept at getting into places they shouldn't.

    I'd start with checking out the mouse proofing threads for what to do for the HVAC intake. That would be my guess on where the bugs are getting access.

    Don't bust them, just take them out.

    They're around but this is the first time in ages since I've seen any at all.

    You think you got bugs? Come on down to Tennessee &/or many parts of the South & watch the cicadas dig themselves out of the ground this year - like so many millions of zombies. They get everywhere. Consider yourself lucky
