Nope. Looks like there is only 5 states you need to consider visiting, not sure how you get from some to the others though.
Wiki.............
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, the Korean peninsula, and Taiwan. In September of 1998 it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced. The nymphs and adults of the brown marmorated stink bug feed on over 100 species of plants, including many agricultural crops, and by 2010โ11 had become a season-long pest in orchards in the Eastern United States. In 2010, in the Mid-Atlantic United States, $37 million dollars in apple crops were lost, and some stone fruit growers lost more than 90% of their crops. It is now established in many parts of North America, and has recently become established in Europe and South America.
By 2009, this agricultural pest had reached Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Oregon. In 2010 this pest was found in additional states including Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and other states.
As of November 2011, it had spread to 34 U.S. states and by 2012 to 40, and showed an increase of 60% in total numbers over 2011.
Their populations have also spread to southern Ontario and Quebec, Canada.

Update: Well, since I set the bug bomb off the last time in the camper (like ... last April) ... I've not seen any LIVE ones until TODAY! I don't know what there is about my campers, but they seem to really like them. None on the inside yet, but saw 4 on the outside skin of the camper this after noon. I guess they are coming back now! "That time of year?" Looks like I'll be picking up some extra bug bombs from Dollar General and set them off ever couple weeks. We do stay in the camper, pretty much full time, although we are home. So, I guess, when setting off those bombs, we'll just have to go back to the house for a few hours .... (sigh!).

Wow. Thanks for that information. And I didnโt know those things were stink bugs. I see those every fall. They try to come in doors to stay warm. From Florida to New Hampshire I have seen these. And everywhere in between.
They are so big, that Iโve never tried to crush one. I figured it would make a mess. Little did I know it would make a stink. LOL so instead, I just capture them into a cup and whip them outside the door.
