Stink bugs have become an increasingly common nuisance pest, especially in fall when they seek shelter indoors for winter. When disturbed or crushed, they release a foul-smelling chemical that gives them their name. While they do not bite or cause structural damage, large numbers can be overwhelming. Exterminator Today provides effective stink bug control services.
About Stink Bugs:
Identification: Shield-shaped brown or gray insects about 3/4 inch long. The brown marmorated stink bug is the most common pest species.
Seasonal Behavior: Stink bugs enter homes in fall seeking warmth and emerge in spring to return outdoors.
Defensive Odor: When threatened, they release a pungent odor from glands on their thorax.
Overwintering: They spend winter in wall voids, attics, and other protected areas of homes.
Prevention Strategies:
Seal Entry Points: Caulk cracks around windows, doors, and foundations before fall.
Screen Openings: Ensure screens are intact and cover vents and other openings.
Exterior Treatment: Professional treatment of exterior walls before stink bugs begin seeking entry.
Our stink bug control focuses on prevention through exclusion and exterior treatment before these pests try to enter your home for winter.
