Can smell ants, love cilantro, can't smell stinkbugs.

Stinkbugs only smell bad if you scare them. They never smell bad to me, either, but I also try not to scare insects.

Idk if scooping them up and putting them outside is scary to them, but I'm told people can smell them just from being in the same room with them, or crushing them, and I've done (or been near) all of the above yet never smelled one. And they're constantly sneaking in my house so I should have by now I think.

When the ant wars come you'll be the first to go.
