It is not early for them. Those bastards survive in pretty cold weather. I find them in my garage hiding in boxes and **** when it is winter time. A little more dormant though.
I don't know what their correct name is, but they are not Boxelder bugs. Boxelders look like large Lightning bugs with red marks on their wings. Their a pain in the *** too.

If its the same bug as around here, my old man's place get's them usually every year around this time. The shed in the backyard is where they like to concentrate, A big can of Raid takes care of them for the year!

There are a couple varieties of them, but anybody complaining of them in the north east area is complaining about the marmorated stink bug. It drives people more nuts than the others because it loves to seek shelter in homes. We have had a horrible infestation of them in our specific area. I don't have it as bad as most because I use Cyonara 9.7. They are still around though.
"The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (hereafter abbreviated BMSB), is an invasive species of stink bug native to China, Korea and Japan. It’s thought that BMSB first came to the United States in shipping containers arriving from Asia. The bugs were first identified in Allentown, PA in 2001, although they probably arrived here several years earlier.
Since becoming established in Pennsylvania, the bug has spread throughout the Mid-Atlantic states as far south as Virginia. It’s also been spotted in several southern and midwestern states, and has become established on the west coast in Oregon. It’s still on the move! Since they are strong fliers, BMSBs may fly to a new habitat, but many hitch a ride in shipping containers or on cars.
How Stink Bugs Bug People
In autumn, the adult stink bugs aggregate on and inside houses, sheds and other structures looking for a warm place to spend the winter. Many people find this to be a nuisance because the BMSB gives off a characteristic odor when they’re crushed or disturbed. However, this bug might pose a threat to your plants, too. BMSB has been reported on 73 different plant species in Pennsylvania alone, including butterfly bush, lilac, buckthorn, tomato, and grapes. Feeding on most ornamentals is probably innocuous, but various kinds of fruit crops can also be damaged by BMSB feeding."
